Empire State of Mind-Ostrava

Alton played in Prague over the weekend, (they won!)....and after the game we went out to get a bite to eat....while we were there this video started playing on their flat screen...I'm sorry but we were in awe and thought it was hilarious! Its kind of annoying, but at the same time we think its unique and creative of this faux Jay-z and Alicia Keys...I mean obviously they put alot of time around the city filming this(please check out the city because this video saves me time on going around taking snapshots:), but we heard there was some controversy because they didn't get the legal rights to do this and apparently made alot of money in this country from this. So then, that's when fun turns into being disrepectful? As you know, Jay-z and Alicia Keys are platinum selling artists, which means that they are very talented and put alot of hard work in for this song. I know you might be thinking who cares, and why even blog about this, this isn't a typical blog entry from the Mason's, but in our household we love all types of music and this just really got our attention. If you recall the music awards when Jay-z and Alicia Keys were bombarded on stage by Lil Mama during their performance...that was very disrespectful, so it appears the Empire State of Mind is obviously a hit, but how far should people who aren't the artists be aloud to go with this? Just a thought...
