NBA.com: ALL-STAR 2004

Wow, while half-recovering from last night's late nite, i've got the NBA Skills/3point/dunk contest on tv. They just had Nona Gaye (daughter of Marvin) singing the national anthem. It was really downtempo, soulful, mellow. And then a big screen tv appeared behind her, and they played Marvin! Marvin singing the national anthem, with Nona filling in and duetting. Stunning. Fucking stunning.

But you kinda wonder about the feelings involved in such a thing. Is it weird for Nona? Grandaddy murdered Daddy. There's that moment when good musicians vibe together and get it right and they exchange The Smile. would've been nice for her.
