We Are All 6 Percent Gay.

Tonight I performed in Detroit for the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League. I was nervous; I wasn’t sure how it was going to go. I was scared the crowd wouldn’t get me and by the end, it all hit me. It’s not about me. It’s about making sure people on this planet have a chance to be whatever they want to be and that is that. I don’t care if you’re black, white, straight, gay, Jewish, Christian, Muslim or whatever.

At the end of the day, as long as you are not out to harm anyone for the wrong reasons, (and I have to say for the wrong reasons because I remain one sixteenth gangster due to my ancestry) but, as long as you are out to do the right thing and you want to believe what it is you believe, let no one get in your way and let no bully stomp your dreams, thoughts or forward motion.

Brad Keywell, the Co-Founder of Groupon, spoke tonight and when asked what he did for a living, he said he was an entrepreneur and that was his job. His job was to take risks to envision things that were not there yet, but that he saw in his head and wanted to create. He has risked, he has failed, he has succeeded, he has fallen again, he has had it rough and he’s had it easy.

This is what I took from tonight. Dream big, take risks, love what you do and that doesn’t mean love your job all time, but find something to love and roll with it. Tonight had more of an impact on me then I thought it would and I know being Jewish has something to do with it, because the first neighborhood I grew up in was not fond of Jews and they let it be known by blowing off M-80s on my front lawn then beating my ass weekly.

Stand up, do what you want, be who you are. Be you. Do you. Maybe it’s the Oprah finale that got me, I don’t know, but this is the least funny blog I’ve ever done. Tonight I was funny, but I don’t feel funny. Do your thing.

Oh and they gave me an amazing hotel room. Peace.
