      While 1.1 billion of the world has inadequate footwear, over 30 million children die a year in the world due to no shoes at all...yet Kobe is admired by millions. Are you nuts..

      We use to getting this in Chicago. Jennifer will telling you there are some vocalists that are greater in Chicago. They only sing for God. They do not want to be famous.
      After hearing singing in Chicago we really have to pull ourselves together
      Peace
