Sara Bareilles at the Greek Theater in Berkeley

Brave

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up

Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue

Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you

Yo-Yo Ma at Greek Theater in Berkeley

It was a packed theater and there was so much respect for Yo-Yo Ma - no one talked during his show as we all wanted to hear every single note played on his cello.

Comedian and Actor Robin Williams dies at 63

Robin Williams died of an apparent suicide - citing severe depression and early stages of Parkinson's Disease...very sad.  He will be so missed...I thought he would live well into his 90s still cracking jokes and making us laugh.  Sad to see him go so soon.  Rest in peace, Robin Williams.

Beyonce and Jay Z: On the Run tour at AT&T Park





Amid rumors of marital problems, I could tell Beyonce was not happy during the first half of the show, sort of like she was just going through the motions.  Then she sang on the song about cheating in her white wedding dress and started crying, started talking to the audience "she's not half the woman I am" a few times.  Then, she seemed to feel better, smiled and laughed.  From that point on, it was a different show as she looked into Jay Z's eyes and they seemed 'all right'.  It was their last show of the US run of the tour, so this was it.  The next week, newspapers said that she was filing for divorce.  Hmm....
