I.......forgot about Dre :(I used to listen to that song "Forgot about Dre" with a holier-than-thou attitude. "Heh, those fair-weather fans with their Nellies and their Chingys don't know anything about good music" is what I thought in my moments of hubris as I daily bumped both Chronics and Doggystyle in my ride. Never in this world would I ever thought I would have been guilty of forgetting about Dre.
And yet it happened. An old roommate from my time in Orlando called and asked if I would be interested in a reunion trip the weekend of February 16-18th. I thought for a second, the date seeming vaguely familiar, and then realised it was probably because of my sister-in-law's birthday on the 19th. "No", I said to my friend, I have nothing going on that day."
Forward a couple of weeks and I get a text from my friend Jenny Cube "tickets for Dre Day on sale Feb. 18th". My heart stopped, and when it started again I took stock of my priorities and realised how far my life had fallen. Yes, I had truly forgotten about Dre.
Luckily, my old roommates came through with their traditional unreliability and procrastination and our trip to Florida is postponed till March. Yes, my friends, I will be able to make Dre Day. My whole purpose in this bulletin is to make sure none of you make the same mistake I did.
Now Dre Day means many things to many people. For some, it's a reason to return home and reconnect with cherished family and friends. For others, it's a day of solemn reflection and giving thanks. For most, however, it is a day of getting riotously drunk and listening to great rap music. Now, seeing as that is pretty much a regular day for me, there has to be more that makes this day so meaningful. And then it hit me while listening to "California Love"...it is the man himself, Dre is truly the reason for the season. Join me in this joyous celebration of my favorite holiday, my friends.
