Tickling the ivories

A few weekends ago we were at the Carrie Underwood concert and her opening act, Craig Morgan was performing, he started singing Easy Like Sunday Morning...

Me: Who sings this song originally?
Mom: Lionel Richie
Me: Oh.... was he blind or just black?

Now let me just say, I get Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles confused. They were all piano-playing chocolate men and I just can't keep 'em straight! My family has been giving me crap for the past two weeks for this comment now!!

(Side note: the only reason I mention their skin color is because, well frankly, I don't get Elton John or Alicia Keys confused, just those three!)

LOL! Well, if it makes you feel any better, the only way I keep 'em separate is by this weird logic --

Lionel Richie = Nicole Richie's dad.. I'd seen him on The Simple Life or whatever that show was, and so I know he can see, lol.

Stevie Wonder = the blind guy. The only reason I know what he looks like is because he was a guest on American Idol one season, and I thought he was super unfriendly to I think Katharine McPhee, haha.

Ray Charles... I've heard of him, but I have no clue who he is lol.

Honest mistake :)

Don't worry...my sister is famous for asking "is that Mick Jagger or the Rolling Stones?" when they were playing some special on TV...

LOL I totally get it. This was my favorite childhood joke: Have you seen Stevie Wonder's new house?

Someone shaking their head.

"Neither has he!"
