In grade seven a friend decided that I looked a bit like Vanilla Ice so he created an alter ego for me – Vanilla Kirk. I even had my own comic book – “The Adventures Of Vanilla Kirk”. It was weird then, and still is, but I the amount of work that he put into making fun of me is actually quite impressive. So 18 years later this article in Rolling Stone really catches my attention:
In the journalism game, yelling “Breaking News†is akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater — it better be warranted. But to heck with that: Breaking News! MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are joining forces for a one-night-only joint show. “Hammer Pants and Ice†goes down Friday, February 27, 2009, at 8:00 p.m. at the McKay Events Center in Orem, Utah.
We can’t possibly answer the inevitable “why†question, but here’s how it will all go down: Hammer is bringing 24 dancers and a full choir; Ice is bringing … himself as far as we can tell. It is evidently the pair’s first show together since the early 1990s, when both were whole-scale radio stars.
I hope that footage from this show makes it to the web.
