MC MR. NAPKINS

This weekend, I will be performing at the All Points West Music & Arts Festival in Liberty State Park, NJ.  Headlining the day I’m performing is the God MC himself: Jay-Z.

This will be the first time he’s gotten to perform with me, and it’s a big opportunity for him.  While I’m glad to be sharing a bill with Jay, I’d rather be sharing it with the act that was supposed to perform that night: white-guy rap icons the Beastie Boys.  The B’s have cancelled their tour because Adam “MCA” Yauch has developed cancer of the parotid gland.  Maybe putting the word “Ill” in all those album titles was not the best idea.

Yauch, get well soon.  You’ve been one of my hip-hop heroes since I was 13, and I know I’ll get to perform with you someday.  Meantime, everybody else, come see me rock the comedy stage on Friday night, and keep an ear out for an upcoming Napkins joint tentatively titled “Motherf*ck MCA’s Parotid Cancer.”
