cover band
OK. one more thing...
the new anathema: the motown/funk cover band.
Back when we were planning for our Senior Ball, I was a huge proponent of having a 70's/funk cover band. And well, it almost happened. They're cheap after all. Trumpets and bass and white people -- no doubt software engineers who live to cover Kool and the Gang for their weekend "gigs" in suburban bars. Well, anyhow, despite a good mp3 rendition of "Jungle Boogie," the Senior Ball committe ruled against me on this one.
And for the last 3 days I've been wondering why I've been inundated with Tina Turner and James Brown -- and it's because the DNC hired a funk cover band for their convention, no doubt to convert all of those swing voters in Ohio who are watching.
Bottom line -- when y'all have your mid-20's weddings, draw the line at Whitney, and hire a real black person.
On another note -- this Kerry girl is beautiful and well spoken. Took me a few seconds but I get this now: "If we want our daughters to control their own bodies... [elect my dad]." I'm not hip with abortion subtlety, I guess.
