JOHN LEGEND - LEGEND USED `BLACK DUDE' CARD FOR UNDERRAGE DRINKING SESSIONS

Smooth singer JOHN LEGEND used colour to his advantage when he sneaked into bars, underage - by just putting another "black dude" on his ID. The soul star hit the town in a big way after graduating from Penn State University in Pennsylvania early at 20, and found a way to persuade bar bouncers he was 21. He explains, "I had an ID of another dude. We ain't even look that much alike (sic) but white people think we all look alike, so you go into a bar and the bouncer just looks at it (ID) real quick, sees a black dude... and keeps moving. I never got caught."
