It's my fault
from USA tODAY - "Rappers have long proclaimed their love for Cristal, frequently mentioning the high-end champagne in songs and popping the corks of the clear, gold-labeled bottles in music videos and at nightclubs.
But the makers of Cristal don't seem to feel the same way about hip-hop — at least that's the way one rapper-turned-record executive Jay-Z sees it.

Now president and chief executive officer of Def Jam Records, the multiplatinum rapper has decided to boycott his once-beloved bubbly over comments from Frederic Rouzaud, managing director of Louis Roederer, the company that produces it.

In The Economist magazine, Rouzaud said the company viewed the affection for his company's champagne from rappers and their fans with "curiosity and serenity."

Well, it is probably my fault - In 1988 or 89 I was socializing with Charles Barkley at Club Enchante' in Cherry Hill (now a Sneaker Stadium store). The next day was opening day of the season, and the guys were hanging out having a good time. Charles had a load of tequila shots lined up, I asked hom if those were for him...he replied with a laugh, no - showing my his light beer, that these were for anyone who wanted them. So I had a few. So then, Charles wanted to get the guys some champagne and ordered Dom. The bartender said they were all out. All out of Dom?! What to do, asked Charles. I piped up, "Dom is ok, have you ever heard of Cristal?" No, he said, and I replied, oh you must try it, it's fabulous, I like it better than Dom.....wellllllll....looks like everyone liked it...and they told two friends, and they told 2 friends, and so on, and so on and....

hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
