No Sex, No Drugs, and a lot of Rock n Roll.

On the evening of July 11, 2007...

I was treated to an evening of great entertainment. Beginning with John Morello, a one man show, titled Dirt. This is a great show featuring many characters. This highly recommended shows touches on subjects that our young people need to talk about (drugs, diversity, date rape, respect for others etc.). What I like best about his show is that he does it in a way that entertains the audience rather than preaches.

Here John is portraying a female character, she has a rough go at life. I don't want to give it away, but this is a very moving part of the show. Many young woman in the audience really connected with this section of the show.

Here are the Cree Rock Hero's, Ceramony in action. Another act, I would highly recommend for any community gathering. They masterfuly blend contemporary rock and roll with cree language and culture. The audience went absolutely bannock over them. Get ready, they are releasing a CD in the very near future.

Here is Ceramony and I after the show. I admire their passion for wanting to our young people.


Here's the audience from my point of view. Although there are alot of free chairs, it was a packed show. Typical first nation audience, most of the people are standing in the back.

Thanks for a great night Waskaganish!
