It's Deeper Than CP Time for Lauryn Hill - Being late is taking a toll on Lauryn Hill's career. Last week she left Atlanta concertgoers mad after having them wait for more than two hours. While her fans respect her, they were fed up and took to social media to voice their anger. Ms. Hill later apologized to her fans in a lengthy Facebook post. Here's part of what she had to say: "I don't show up late to shows because I don't care," Ms. Hill wrote. "And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others. I don't have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible."(Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for CBGB)
