NYC to host hip hop honors week prior to VH1 awards show

NEW YORK -- A six-day celebration of hip-hop culture, held in the birthplace of the musical genre, was set for October in conjunction with the 3rd annual VH1 Hip-Hop Honors show, network and city officials announced Thursday.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg _ or "Mike B," as he tagged himself for the day _ announced the festivities while flanked by two hip-hop legends, entrepreneur Russell Simmons and artist and actor Ice-T.

Bloomberg said it's important for the city to honor musical traditions.

"That means celebrating an art form that has expressed the realities of city life," Bloomberg said after welcoming visitors to his "crib," City Hall. "As hip-hop has evolved and new artists have emerged, its lessons have continued to be valuable for us."

The events and promotions between Oct. 12 through Oct. 17 will include hip-hop artists visiting with children in city schools, special discounts offered at participating restaurants, performances at clubs throughout the city, and fashion- and sports-related events.

The honors show itself will be taped on Oct. 7 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in midtown Manhattan but broadcast on Oct. 17. This year's honorees include Simmons, MC Lyte, the Beastie Boys, the Wu-Tang Clan, Afrika Bambaataa, Rakim and Easy-E, officials announced.

Ice-T, a rapper who plays a detective on TV's "Law & Order: SVU," will host the show.

New York has been the home of the awards, which highlight the achievements of the genre's pioneers, for the show's first two years.

VH1 general manager Tom Calderone said other major markets had tried to get the show this year, but that the discussions didn't go very far.

In their comments, Ice-T and Simmons stressed the educational value of hip-hop and said its artists often spoke the truth, even if it wasn't pretty. The two said they were happy to have the mayor's backing.

"My people said, 'Bloomberg's cool, man,"' Ice-T said.

[paulb]

[Chicka B]

That's great news! I'm really excited, even though it's months away.

[timmie]

Thats fab-tastic news! it really is about time too!!! they more than deserve it!....i think they should do a at least a 1 hour set!!?......

[Ninja]

That's what I'm talkin' bout. ABOUT TIME. If thay were not going to get it this time then there was no way they were going get it next. I am so glad they are being honored.

When do you think tickets will go on sell, I would fly up there for this.

I dont think tickets will be availible for sale. this is an "invite only" event.

[pshabi]

Is this like MTV Icon? Or will there be many artists honored?
Do you want someone to retype the original post, or do you want to read it?

[Shadbells]

Nice, congrats to the Beasties.

[Jmoney77]

Nice, congrats to the Beasties.
Yes, Congrats to them, i hope they know how much they mean to alot of people especially on the boards. Right Guys!

[pip07]

^^ ya....who's gonna perform the beastie trax.....if its eminem, i'm not watching!!!

what? you don't want to hear his "paul revere"?

[Laver1969]

Great scoop Guido! I'd make a trip to NYC for this.

[wrongwayandugg]

Very well deserved.........

Yeah, I agree. Especially considering Beastie Boys are one of the only (if not the only!) consistantly, reliable rap acts.

[Kid Presentable]

Huge news. Props to the B-Boys.(y)

Chuck D should be involved in a rendition of 'Slow and Low' somehow.(lb)

[gaselite]

yessss, finally, great news :D

[Jmoney77]

You guys are right that means other artists are going to perform theier tracks, I really hope someone does them justice and rips it up, i would hate for one of the beasties songs to sound all sucky

[Shadbells]

You guys are right that means other artists are going to perform theier tracks, I really hope someone does them justice and rips it up, i would hate for one of the beasties songs to sound all sucky

I agree, I'd like to see a good performance.

[cAm]

great news!!

[saml]

if they play Sabotage I wont watch

[camo]

i'd love to see someone pay tribute by covering one of their songs (like the beasties did with run dmc - uscker mc's)

[dave790]

^^ ya....who's gonna perform the beastie trax.....if its eminem, i'm not watching!!!

I was going to say!

Personally, i think Cypress Hill would be good.

i'd love to see someone pay tribute by covering one of their songs (like the beasties did with run dmc - uscker mc's)

That's the idea!

[Justin]

i hope they dont cover something from licensed to ill. Like fight for your right. At least cover like: sure shot, shake your rump, ch check it out..anything

[dave790]

Right Cypress doing Root Down is what I have in mind

[KENNY GUIDO]

Let's hope the show revolves around them, and not the other rap acts!

[Laver1969]

What about LL Cool J covering something?

[camo]

What about LL Cool J covering something?

hopefully his head, in a polythene bag

[cj hood]

cypress hill's a good choice......or tribe called quest!

[BGirl]

nice, well deserved.. congrats, Beastie Boys! (y)

[KENNY GUIDO]

hopefully his head, in a polythene bag

OUCH!!!:eek:

[brooklyndust]

Huge news. Props to the B-Boys.(y)

Chuck D should be involved in a rendition of 'Slow and Low' somehow.(lb)

yeah but slow and low is orginally a run dmc song

i would like to hear someone cover root down or high plains drifter

[d_bob76]

How about the Roots doing Root Down?

[PaddyBoy]

This is great news! Congrats BBoys....and about time for Rakim! This may be the best line-up yet.

If a song from an album other than LTI is performed by another artist, I'll be very shocked.

[jennyb]

Yeah it's gotta be a LTI track. I mean, if they're honoring them for being pioneers... why not go way back to the pioneering days?

I don't spose the boys will get up and perform. Probably not, they gets to chill and rake in the props. 'Tis about time! (y)

[maggz]

ahhh yes! this is the best news ive heard in a long time! finally!....and afrika bambaataa too...he shoulda been on the first one...i wouldn't mind seeing kid rock do a beastie boys cover, lol

[Shadrock]

ahhh yes! this is the best news ive heard in a long time! finally!....and afrika bambaataa too...he shoulda been on the first one...

I agree.

[YoungRemy]

I had some insignificant news that was insignificant until now... as I type this from the 15th floor of the building I work at, I can hear Kid Rock warming up at Hammerstein Ballroom below me... I heard the soundcheck clearly and they are now doing really bad covers of rock tunes, the show is in less than two hours...

anyways, I'm working late October 7th, thats all I know...

[jennyb]

as I type this from the 15th floor of the building I work at, I can hear Kid Rock warming up at Hammerstein Ballroom below me...

Haha... I'm sorry.

[Bobtwi]

I know RUN-D.M.C said the wouldnt do anything together since JMJ passed.It would be real fuckin cool to see them do Slow & Low.

[Chicka B]

I hope it's not like 50 Cent, Chingy, and Mike Jones covering Fight For Your Right or something. Actually, I'd probably watch that out of curiosity haha.

[kleptomaniac]

psh it's about time! :D

time to get ILL!

[Pootytang]

How about Hank Williams Jr doing "5 piece Chicken Dinner". Anthrax doing "Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun" and Richard Cheese doing "Paul Revere".

[ggirlballa]

about time mang(y) :cool:

[canucklehead200]

hanson will be performing beastie songs


FUNNIEST POST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS FORUM!

[M.C. Guevera]

Well, Public Enemy performed in 2004 when they were honored, and Big Daddy Kane performed in 2005 when he was honored, so I hope the Beasties get to perform this year.

I have no idea whose going to do the cover of a Beastie Boys song though. I would think they would like to use three white rappers, but there's not alot to choose from. My guess is that they use Eminem, Kid Rock, and that rapper from 311. Or maybe the singer from the Bloodhound Gang? He's said that the Beastie Boys were a big influence on him. And I do think they're going to cover "Fight For Your Right". I'll be shock if they cover something else.

This is a great list of honorees. Beastie Boys. Rakim. Wu-Tang Clan. I love it.

One question though: why is Easy E going in by himself and not with N.W.A.?

[Ninja]

One question though: why is Easy E going in by himself and not with N.W.A.?

My thought is this, Easy E died in '95 and every year they honor someone who has died. First it was BIG E then it was Tupac, so now it is Easy E. Plus if they honor all of N.W.A. then you would knock out Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. And I would think they would save them for future shows.

[DapperDiverge]

Let's hope the show revolves around them, and not the other rap acts!


agreed!! (y) (y)

[laurie_hammy]

This is SiK news. Wonder what song will be performed in Honour of these 3 legends.

[betaband]

de la soul doin sure shot

or

tribe doin root down

or

[KENNY GUIDO]

I cant wait for this show.

[Friis gal]

I think AOLTNYC would be cool...

[Raina]

I hope they perform two songs...Sure Shot by themselves and then someone else doing their own rendition of a song from them. That'll be cool. I'm so happy!!!! And yay for Rakim....but what about Eric B.? It has to be Eric B. and Rakim!!!! CHECK OUT MY MELODY, DON'T SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE!!!!

....sorry got too excited.:o

[maggz]

[ggirlballa]

he's bumping the thread higher up so it doesn't get forgotten


but i see no reason people have already forgotten about this thread and prefer replying to the VH1 Hip Hop Honors thread instead.......just sayin

[KENNY GUIDO]

well, I just thought since this was the original thread that it should be kept in everyone's eyes so people dont forget and put up new ones. then, you get people saying "theres a thread about this already".:D

[KENNY GUIDO]

Im working on info regarding tickets. ;)

[Laver1969]

Im working on info regarding tickets. ;)

[Lex Diamonds]

Are you kidding? That would be sick.

Why do so many people here hate on Eminem? He is (was) a fucking amazing rapper.

[Laver1969]

Are you kidding? That would be sick.

Maybe it's time for another "i hate Eminem" thread.

I guess he has talent, but I don't like his style or delivery. I don't think he's the right person to honor the Beasties...I would prefer someone with an old-school flavor.

[Pootytang]

I really need to get an invite to this dealio for realio. The afterparty sounds fresh as hell, but to get into the actual event is what I'm trying for.

Actually, I need a 1 +3. But any invite would be noice.

i don't know i just discovered the Marshall Mathers LP & think he is a talented mutha but he doesn't seem like he can do a b-boy song....but i think it wud be sick to see him performing a b-boy song & twist it up.

[laurie_hammy]

Well I heard Eminem said "when im older I wanna be just like Adrock". So if he can do a performance as good as Adrock (Doubt It) then he should do something.

[yooooo]

really? when did he said that? i think eminem is a talented MC (that doesnt make me like him, though) but there are better acts out there that i like more.. im totally fine with that list!

[laurie_hammy]

really? when did he said that? i think eminem is a talented MC (that doesnt make me like him, though) but there are better acts out there that i like more.. im totally fine with that list!

About 6 months ago someone posted that Eminem said that in an interview ? Dunno when it was sorry.

[Chicka B]

Maybe these guys (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/08/top-that.html) should do the tribute.

I wish they would have sent you two afterparty tickets instead of one for each lol

I got nothing but a recording saying they're all sold out (n) , so unless someone ends up with an extra ticket someone, I'm not going =o(

[YoungRemy]

Soundcheck going on right now in Hammerstein Ballroom...it is too muffled to hear who is performing, but they are definitely 100% singing a Beastie Boys tune...

[pshabi]

that's what i was thinkin

[pshabi]

that's what i was thinkin
I'm gonna guess it was the "honoring our fallen soldiers" segment of the show.

[Extra Cheese]

EAZY E = BONE THUGS

[cj hood]

i don't think the beasties played any roll in organizing this.......except for the song they did......

[maggz]

yeah, i never would have guessed that p diddy and fabulous were gonna be honoring them.. i did figure that tip would though

[cj hood]

it should of been Run, Q and Chuck D.....

[maggz]

vh1 said that krs was gonna be performing.. i havent even seen any pics of him yet ...i take that back.. they got some up now..

[pshabi]

EAZY E = BONE THUGS
heh, forgot about that.

[Kid Presentable]

p fuckin ditty honored them........fuck that jerkoff!
He's a quoted big fan.

[cj hood]

He's a quoted big fan.

he's a big fan of anything in the spotlight or that could make money......

[dave790]

hold it now and paul revere sounds quite cool to me. i dislike p diddy immensely, but hey...he's honouring the beasties, i still w2anna see how those 3 did. i reckon q-tip woulda been spot on.

and so what'cha want is consistently one of the best performed beasties tunes, so i'm cool they did that too.

can't wait for this to be shown!

[DeeJayZap]

atleast tip was honouring them...

[Top 10]

Hey guys!!!
Sounds ill.
When will someone be able to put the videos on the web???

[Extra Cheese]

apparantly their mics went dead during so what'cha want and had to start all over. oops!

[dansemy]

I was there and it was insane. Beastie Boys were first to be honored. After the intro video, Fab, Tip and Diddy(!) came out and sang the first verse of Paul Revere and Hold It Now Hit It.Then, the boys came out and sang So Watcha Want. AdRocks mic was messed up so they had to start it over after being almost done. The whole night was amazing. Among, the posters they gave away in the VH1 cannisters, there's a great Beastie Boys one.

Africa Bambatta was cool and I noticed Mike D and Russel Simmons having some long conversations during the proceedings. I sat next to one of the oldest school female rap groups known as the Mercedes Ladies. All in all, an amazing night and it was an honor to attend.

[Kid Presentable]

he's a big fan of anything in the spotlight or that could make money......
Clearly the Beasties are neither. I first read the quote in 97, btw.

[dansemy]

I forgot to mention than Rakim is like a god to me. He killed it.

Oh and Wu Tang Clan were not to be F-ed with either.

[KENNY GUIDO]

holy shit! what a fuckin night!!!

first off, I gotta thank Cey and Adrock with the hook up of the tickets for the HHH show! you da mans!

it was great chillin with rusty, jaysen, steve on-point, bionic, cere and im fighting over a hang over but whoever else i forgot!

met a slew of artists back at the club, courtesy of the bouncers: Pepper, Ice T, Mix Master Mike, Wu Tang (yo, can those guys smoke cheeba or what?!?!!?) wendy williams, doug e fresh and again, forgot the rest!

Rap royalty rocks

VH1 show gives it up for our legend MCs

BY CRISTINA KINON and JONATHAN LEMIRE
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS


Lil' Kim in her first post-prison performance, at the VH1 Hip-Hop Awards at the Hammerstein Ballroom last night.


Pioneering rapper MC Lyte was given a special tribute.

In a lively tribute that featured superstar duets, loads of bling and Lil' Kim's first performance since her release from prison, rap royalty was honored last night at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

VH1's third annual Hip Hop Awards celebrated eight of the genre's heaviest hitters, including the Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, Eazy-E and Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons.

"These are the guys that I listened to as a kid," said Bronx-born rapper Fat Joe, who shook off the playoff elimination of his beloved Yankees earlier in the day to attend the midtown ceremony, which will air Oct. 17. "Today is the most fun time out of the whole year."

The honorees, who sat together on a stage above the crowd, basked in the tributes of the other artists in attendance, who joined forces to cover some of the legends' classic jams.

"There are a lot of pioneers out there that need to be recognized for their work and contributions in music," said Pepa, of Salt-N-Pepa, on the red carpet.

A tribute to Brooklyn-born MC Lyte, whom many consider the first noteworthy female rapper, was to feature Lil' Kim, who made a brief appearance on the red carpet on W. 34th St.

The arrivals featured dozens of artists and gazillions in bling, as well as a mock entrance to a subway station - part of the show's tribute to New York City, the birthplace of rap.

"New York is the foundation of hip hop, and it's just getting bigger and better," said rapper Da Brat. "And I'm very happy to be a part of it."

The show's host, Ice-T, also paid tribute to the city and, in a preshow video, jokingly suggested that Mayor Bloomberg was the second choice to oversee the event.

For many in attendance, the highlight was the city's own Beastie Boys, who jumped onstage to play their classic "So What'cha Want" - only to have to start over after their microphones died.

Near the end of the event, there was a brief altercation between Wu-Tang Clan's entourage and the security staff after one of the group's posse was spotted without a proper backstage credential. One person was slapped, and a few others were ejected, but no serious injuries were reported.

we were watching the screening live at Providence when they had to start over...

it was a bit embarrasing...adrock and Yauch's mics werent working and there was mass confusion on the stage...

after the first take, horovitz said something along the lines of "there are no do-overs" and Diamond said "Its Game Time"

it was clear they were annoyed at the situation and the crowd was booing the sound/crew people...

so they just did SWW again, and then they went into its the new style...

pootytang and laver1969 got in while some of us were at the screening...

everyone came out after the show and right before MMM took over the DJ Booth, they played a 30 minute long Beastie medley, from one classic hit to another... our little section of message board fans were in heaven...

me and steve-on0point were trading root down lyrics while everyone danced around our table... all in all, it ws a fun night, but everyone had to keep trading their passes around so everyone had access to the VIP areas...

<--------------Officially ready to kill myself for missing this.:(

[kleptomaniac]

I was there and it was insane. Beastie Boys were first to be honored.<<excellent! as it should be :D After the intro video, Fab, Tip and Diddy(!) came out and sang the first verse of Paul Revere and Hold It Now Hit It.Then, the boys came out and sang So Watcha Want. AdRocks mic was messed up so they had to start it over after being almost done. The whole night was amazing. Among, the posters they gave away in the VH1 cannisters, there's a great Beastie Boys one. <<lucky!!

Africa Bambatta was cool and I noticed Mike D and Russel Simmons having some long conversations during the proceedings. I sat next to one of the oldest school female rap groups known as the Mercedes Ladies. All in all, an amazing night and it was an honor to attend.

ah thanks for the recap of the evening ;)

really can't wait to see this all for myself. can't wait!
excellent song choices by the way (y)

i'm like counting down the days to triple H and it's not coming soon enough....
jealous of y'all now. again. sounds sooo exciting....

what? they did the new style too? that would be fucking wickid, especiallyw hen adrock goes into "COOLIN ON A CORNER ON A HOT SUMMERS DAY..."

[Laver1969]

^What he said! (y)

[Pootytang]

I most definately had a fairytale week in New York.

It began with the most intimate Beastie Boy concert that I've ever been to. Front row and so close I could see up their noses. Getting an autographed setlist after the show was the best "Welcome to New York" present that I could have ever recieved. Running across Adrock on the streets of Manhattan was doper than dope. Hip Hop honors was fantastic and the afterparty was slammin'.

The MB'ers that showed were all cool as hell. I don't think I met any that I didn't like. Bionic and YoungRemy made great tour guides and even better friends. You guys have a place to crash anytime you come to Louisiana.

I could go on and on about all the cool stuff that happened in NYC but I guess somethings are just ment to simmer in the mind.

Last but not least, thank you Mr. Cey Adams for taking time out of your busy schedule to hang with some of the Beastie Boy MB members. It meant the world to me and I think to the others as well. Also thank you for the hook. I got alot of love and respect for you, man.

I guess you can call this my open letter to NYC.

[ggirlballa]

Cey is such a cool dude

[JasonP]

wait wait wait...can someone start from the beginning...how did all of you guys get into HHH???

[Pootytang]

I brought my ticket to the gate. The lady took my ticket and I walked on. The next lady put a shiney blue bracelet around my wrist and I moved to the next stop. I took everything out of my pockets and then walked through a metal detector. The lady at the detector made me take the batteries out of my camera so I wasn't able to take pics. Then I was in. I went upstairs, grabbed a gangload of free drinks and thought about eating something but worried more about the beer.

This how I got in.;)

[jennyb]

[paulb]

[timmie]

[KENNY GUIDO]

Did anyone notice that MCA bought his daughter with him to the HHH's? I wish I could have bought my son....he would have loved it!

[Pootytang]

How did you guys get hooked up with tickets?I guess just being at the right place at the right time in the long run.

[YoungRemy]

Well...I still don't know how you got tix...but I do have to say it is pretty amazing how thngs worked out for you on this trip. Its pretty uncanny that you actually ran into one of them on the street....i would have to say the shout out at the show would be my highlight, I was pretty happy for you when I heard it...got any vid footage of the shout out?

[Pootytang]

Not as of yet I don't. It's being worked on though.

[dirtydan11]

congratulations.. im a little pissed you didnt try and hook me up but whatever. sounds like the best week of your life(y) (y)

[Pootytang]

I guess I will have to live with a lot of people being pissed at me. :( I'm only one person and had only 3 passes. I guess you guys could have hid in my shirt and we could have all walked in at one time. :)

[KENNY GUIDO]

it was a gamble for many of us. but we all had a good time!!!!

[paulb]

it was a gamble for many of us. but we all had a good time!!!!

some won and some lost.

[KENNY GUIDO]

if anyone was listening to WBLS before, they would have heard me callin in and saying that I saw Wendy Williams at both the HHH and the aftershow and that she shunned me. she apoligized and she said it wouldnt happen again!

[Documad]

I will post photos galore from the Hip Hop Honors red carpet arrival soon. I haven't reviewed and edited all my photos yet, but this one (http://static.flickr.com/107/264538777_bf5aa514b3.jpg) is my favorite so far.
I just love Mike's new hair! When I first saw it in person, it made me laugh for a minute, but once I got past the initial shock, I love it!

:D

I think the tribute performance by Diddy, Q-tip, and Fabolous with Mix Master Mike was a bit weak. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't bad. Mix Master Mike was tight. Tip was good, especially with his Adrock impression, but the performance seemed under-rehearsed. They seemed not to know where to stand and what to do.

I found it interesting how they stayed on the opposite side of the stage, away from the Beastie Boys, as they performed the tribute. Perhaps they were a little intimidated? I think if I were in their shoes, I would feel that way.

FYI: The process for the tribute performances is VH1 asks the honorees whom they would like to perform the tribute. VH1 then contacts those artists to see if they will do the tribute. In other words, Diddy, Q-tip, and Fabolous were among the artists the Beastie Boys requested to perform the tribute.

Girl's got video of the Hip Hop Honors. I sort of feel like I should keep the video private until the show airs, but I also know that y'all want to see it now. My video is not going to hurt VH1. It's not that good.

Plus, I hear someone is trying to sell video to those who can't wait for the broadcast. Don't let anyone profit from your fandom. We fans can provide for one another without financial reward.

Mix Master Mike Intro / Q-tip, Fabolous, and Diddy tribute to the Beastie Boys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwLkBYsslmE)

I uploaded a clip of the do-over performance of "So What'cha Want/The New Style." It includes footage of Pooty and Laver rockin' out to the performance and the tribute performers coming out on stage to congratulate the Beastie Boys.

So What'cha Want/The New Style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLF3k7qZsN8)
(Sorry about the quality after compression. It was a huge file.)

I loved that Beastie Boys did "So What'cha Want" and "The New Style" back-to-back. That's a spicy meatball with sauce!

*makes kissy, Italian gesture*

I enjoyed the Hip Hop Honors immensely. I felt bad that not all of the BBMBers that were there made it inside. It was difficult to enjoy the show thinking of those people.


I cant watch the videos. :(

[KENNY GUIDO]

NICE!!

GO RUSTY-GO RUSTY!!!

[ggirlballa]

thanks for the sneak peak mirmaree(y)

[pshabi]

didnt get sick on him...
So you either kissed him.... or started spouting off about how much the Beastie Boys mean to you and started crying.

That's classic.

[pshabi]

I cant watch the videos. :(
First vid is still private!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

By the way. Greatest of all fucking time!!!!!!!!!! SWW and The New Style were filthy!!!!

[Laver1969]

Works now.:confused:

BTW, thanks for the email. I envy you more than you will ever know!

Edit: Wow. Tip, Diddy, and Fab were.....brief.

^^This got me thinking. So that means that Run DMC asked the Beasties to perform for their tribute two years ago. (y)

wow what a surprise :rolleyes:

on another note, i hope the boys didn't piss off/disrespect DMC by not asking him to come on in the tribute to the boys. I thought it woulda been a given that they woulda requested DMC to perform in the HHH honours tribute to the boys. But maybe they just had scheduling problems or something

[cAm]

thanks for posting the vids Miramanee!(y)

[midzi]

Thanks for clips Miramanee you're alway on top of your game.:)

I hope they won't take them down till I get back from work in 9 hours time, becuase here I can only watch them without a sound.

[ILLMIX]

The tribute by tip, diddy and fab was very very short, i mean barely a verse of either song???
MMM played more verses in his warm......(n)

and yes Thanks Miramanee for the videos. :D

[Friis gal]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, aaand thank you!!!
just WOW, i'm blown away right now...

[Pootytang]

Yo M, thanks a mill for posting these. It brought back some sweet memories.

[b-grrrlie]

Miramanee, you('re a) rock!

Someone asked me to post video of the first version of "So What'cha Want" when the mics cut.

I just realised at 3am that you were implying my Mother is old.
