Chloe had applied for a job as a Blues vocalist for Al Gore and his Band The AlGoreRhythms. Al said just because he was politically blue didn’t mean they were into the blues and suggested she might try for a late night weekly blues gig with NPR . . .
Al Gore, while touring China with his band The AlGoreRhythms, had played at a prestigious Chinese center of learning and had been asked to speak about how he had invented music several years before inventing the Internet. When several western reporters asked if maybe Bach, Tchaikovsky, Elvis, Al Jolson or various angelic choirs hadn’t maybe preceded him by a little, his response was that those allegations were simply bigoted, uninformed right wing Tea Party propaganda from Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh . . .
Elvis (yes, it’s his actual name; his mother had been a big fan) liked to get away from the usual Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, and Hound Dog imitations and considered his specialties to be Fun in Acapulco and Viva Las Vegas. His reaching out for an Elvis-like version of Yellow Submarine hadn’t been as well received . . .
Kenny really liked the old time cowboy/Western music. He was thinking of restarting the band “The Riders of The Purple Sage.” He was pretty sure that stage and TV make-up wouldn’t be a problem . . .
For a minute, Sarah was very concerned. While practicing her violin, she had the TV on with the sound down, and saw a politician with the closed caption below saying that the politician abhorred Violins. Being from Montana, she knew the government was trying to control guns, but why musical instruments? Then she saw the correction–the closed captions had misspelled “violence”.. . . . . David, Sf.G.
