I was driving through the city today and the Alicia Keys version of “Empire State of Mind” came on the radio. It played as the perfect score to the imagery that I was seeing through my car windows, and when the song ended I was hoping they would follow it up with the Billy Joel classic “New York State of Mind.” But … it was Hot97 and they followed it up with Gucci Mane. Next time I will have my ipod on me so I’m in control. Gotta love the climactic ending of this record.
