Can you believe it's been 20 years?

It feels like it was just yesterday that I was bopping along to Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" on my Walkman on my way to school. Well, I can tell you for certain that it definitely wasn't yesterday as the album it was taken from, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, turns 20 this year. And to celebrate this landmark achievement Lauryn is going to be touring and performing the album in its entirety. While it's just North America at the moment that the former Fugees frontwoman will bless with her God given talent, if it's a success, as with most of these types of things, it's more than likely they'll bring it over to the UK - I for one hope so at least. The 29 date trek begins July 5th in Virginia Beach. The full list of dates are as follows:
