Dierdre had gotten an auto generated e-mail from Target offering a free pair of the new camo Spanx with the purchase of two regular pairs. She thought the camo pair might come in handy during hunting season, and the hot pink or lime green could lead hunters to believe that she was really Nicki Minaj out for a walk in the heavily armed, hunter-infested woods and be hesitant to possibly shoot an international pop star . . .
The reports were confusing; some said if you approached from the south, you heard “Welcome to the Hotel California,” but if you approached from the north, you heard “Stairway To Heaven.” If you approached straight on, you heard “Hail To The Chief” and the faces changed to look like the President . . .
Kent (middle, back row) had heard Bob Marley’s song “Buffalo Soldiers” and was inspired. He cajoled and bullied his homies to go to the recruiting station and enlist, only to be told they couldn’t–how were they going to hold a rifle? The enlistment officer did suggest they try out as free agents for the NFL; they would make great defensive linebackers . . .
In an early concert, the precocious Stevie Nicks (center) and Mick Fleetwood (Violin) had teamed up with Jimmy Page (accordion–and later of Led Zeppelin fame) to do a public performance and test the waters. Johnnie Cash was out for a bathroom break, but was going to sing “Yellow Brick Road” on his return . . .
Clarence thought he was going to be in the woodwind section–a clarinet, an oboe, a bassoon, maybe a flute–but not the whole trumpet section. Looked like he was going to have to work on breath control . . .
First it had been Madonna, then Pink and Lady Gaga, now Frizzy thought she would have a go at the pop music circuit. Her first single hit, “Howl like a she wolf,” while short on actual lyrics, carried with it with raw emotion of the head back, wide-open-mouth canine howl at the moon that some claimed she borrowed from Texas Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee when complaining about George W. Bush . . .
