There wasn't a day that went by this week in which Albert's death wasn't the talk of the town. Rapper Nas even issued a letter that was first broadcast through Chicago radio station WGCi addressed to the young males in Chicago on Tuesday, which raised questions from Chicagoans along the lines of "Why didn't a Common or a Kanye West issue this letter? Why did Nas, a New Yorker, have to be the one to take this step?", etc.
Speaking of Kanye West, his upcoming "Fame Kills" tour with Lady GaGa was cancelled earlier this week. Various rumors concerning the sudden cancellation of what would've been one of music's hottest tours range from Kanye deciding that he needs a break from music, to Lady GaGa saying that she didn't want to work with the Chicago rapper following the infamous spat with Taylor Swift at the VMAs a few weeks ago. However, Lady GaGa did issue a statement Friday stating that the decision to cancel the tour was mutual. You can read more about the cancellation right'chea.
Going briefly back to sports, the Bulls won the first game of their preseason Friday against the Indiana Pacers, 104-95. The victory was foreshadowed however, by Chicago's elmination from the bidding for the 2016 Olympics earlier in the day. Pulling a Chicago Cubs a la 2007, Chicago was eliminated from the bidding in the first round. Hopefully, Mayor Richard M. Daley can now act like he got some sense, and try to regain some control over a city that had appeared to have been deteriorating in every way possible ever since it was announced that Chicago was a candidate city for the 2016 games. Rio de Janeiro won the Olympics, giving South America their first ever Olympic games.
So yeah... that about it. I'm horrible at ending anything, whether it be an essay, a poem, or especially a blog entry. So uh...
