Mocking Dead Rock Gods
So displayed at my place of employment are a couple of very large, very prominent posters for a thing called Abbey Road on the River. Basically, it’s a 5-day orgy of Beatles fans watching a five-stage barrage of Beatles tribute/cover bands, most of whom don’t try to look like The Beatles. It’s been around for many years now and is quite the draw, so I’m told.
Over the coffee pot for the last few days, there has been a poster. The four Beatles stare at me at least three times a day as I’m back and forth to fill my cup full of awake juice. As the drawn eyes leered at me yet again, I made a comment to a coworker.
Now with extra-creepy moustaches!
“The band that wins this thing needs to go all out. On their way off the stage, one of them needs to be shot, one of them needs to be stabbed, and one of them needs to have all his money stolen by a one-legged bitch.”
As for the last one? Just like in real life, his punishment is to be stuck as Ringo Starr forever.
You are…FUNNY!!!!!! ;)
Not always, but sometimes.
HA! If you get a chance, read the book by Jim Norton that talks about Heather what’s-her-name. I don’t think he carried much for her, either!
Heather Mills, and I get the feeling that a lot of people didn’t like her!
