Kamala Harris
FROM BLOWIN’ NOTES TO BLOWIN’ ZZZs
Sax Man Snoozes at Gala

Kamala Harris was bringing the eagerness at dinner — and one musician was apparently bringing … a pillow?
At Wednesday’s Public Counsel Awards Dinner contained in the Beverly Wilshire Lodge, the previous VP had the room tuned in throughout a critical onstage convo — however a saxophonist seated close by appeared to float into a totally totally different vibe.
Watch the clip … we’re speaking straight-up OUT … eyes closed, head down, totally snoozing.
And truthfully, the timing couldn’t have been extra ironic … Kamala was in the midst of a considerate level about “No Kings” rallies and long-term political technique … when, only a few toes away, our man regarded like he’d been transported straight into dreamland.
To be truthful, it was a packed evening — awards, speeches, performances — the sort of occasion the place even essentially the most seasoned professionals would possibly hit a wall. And hey, clean jazz is fairly enjoyable!
Harris accepted the William O. Douglas Award from Uzo Aduba earlier than a candid onstage chat … as she praised Gen Z, reaffirmed her oath to the Structure, and declared “we need to be ruthless” in confronting the present political local weather.
Plus, the room was stacked with massive names like Vin Diesel, Rita Moreno and Amanda Gorman — so perhaps the man simply felt secure sufficient to sneak in a fast recharge.
The saxophonist did revive himself to play Kamala offstage … with the catnap including somewhat surprising comedy to an in any other case highly effective evening.
