Lily, Rose, Daisy, and Honeysuckle, the Fabulous Spider Lilies, had gotten to the finals on “American Idol,” only to be knocked out of the running by a guy that sang “Unchained Melody” while juggling three turtles and tap dancing. “Cheap parlor tricks,” said the girls, as Simon and the crew sent them packing . . .
The girls–all natural blondes–had elected to go with the straight hair style of the 1960’s era folk singers–like Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, and Mary or Joan Baez–but now, as the performance drew near, they wondered if they shouldn’t have added a little curl or color. But then, Lady Gaga pulled it off with the straight blonde (white?) look, didn’t she?
Jerome finally knew his goal; be an Elvis look-a-like and sing “Hound Dog” and “In The Ghetto” at the Louisiana floating casinos, getting high dollar chips for tips . . .
Hank and Frank couldn’t understand why their manager didn’t get it–you just can’t go to the Grammy awards night and look “normal . . .”
Lucy, fading fast, hadn’t gotten to the Prince Funeral in time and just hoped that she could get a little of the purple rain to refresh her . . .
Jimbo wished he’d listened to his girl and not robbed the liquor store. Now he’d ended up on the chain gang singing, “I fought the law and the law won . . .”
