I have some pictures I snapped at the 46664 AIDS Day Concert at Ellis Park on Saturday. The event is the initiative of our hero Tata Nelson Mandela, which he founded in 2002. He invited different personalities, including actors, musicians, sports stars, etc, to spread awareness about HIV and AIDS. This HIV/AIDS charity carries Madiba’s prison number 46664. The performers this year included Peter Gabriel, Angelique Kidjo, Johnny Clegg, Ludacris, Jamelia, Corrine Bailey-Rae, Annie Lennox, The Goo Goo Dolls and many local acts.
The slogan/pay-off line for this year was “It’s In Our Hands”, emphasizing that we are the only people responsible to stop the spread of this monster disease. The performances were outstanding, the messages relayed were positive and thought-provoking; and what I found most amazing was the unity amongst people of different races, cultures and backgrounds. I wish the world was as united and people tolerant of one another like it was on that day.

Some people think you’re oversaturating the market, though. Have you ever thought about that?
Listen. [Leans in, speaking directly into the recorder] Darling, I don’t care what nobody think. Talk to me like you talking to Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. You’re not about to ask him about what he think about what somebody said about him. You ’bout to ask him about his greatness, and his greatness only. I don’t care what nobody think. If I did, you wouldn’t be sitting on my muthafuckin’ million-dollar bus in my 15th year at the same muthafuckin’ company and business. I’m a role model. You should get like me. Get like you? No. Get like me. Ya understand me? I’m not hot. Hot dies out. Baby, I’m me. Who the fuck done this? Nobody. Compare me to people that’s not even living, baby. And they didn’t even do it-what they comparing me to. No disrespect to them. You found songs on those people after they died. I’m still living.
Damn the liquor and drugs is really getting to his brain.

Mario’s new album, “Go,” is in stores December 11th. RealTalkNY recently interviewed the man about the album and his life. Since we had time, I did a bootleg photoshoot for the ladies. Joy Daily conducted the interview and is in the last picture.
