No Spectators Hurt in Hammer Appearance

As it turns out, Hammer did not rap, nor did he wear his magical genie pants when I was present for a live taping of his appearance on the TBN televangelist program entitled Praise the Lord! last week in the Orange County suburbs of Los Angeles. The former hip hop phenom was polite, passionate, and actually quite reasonable in his interview, as he spoke of his childhood in Oakland, California and his meteoric rise to super stardom in the early 1990's. There was no mention of his career's equally spectacular grind-to-a-screeching-halt-like plummet back to earth in the later half of the 1990's.

Do you think I could find pants like that at Target?

No, no. Certainly not Target. Those pants are HIGH FASHION, my friend. Target is the fashion choice for the unclean masses in fly over territory like Ohio.
