LETTER FROM AMERICA - THE SORCERERS’ SLOG, #28
Once more into the Adjustable Pliers of the Media
Please do not underestimate how wonderful the silence of The Sorcerers was for us, too … medical surprises, financial ruin, moving the entire Sorcerers’ lab, the death of two remarkable cats (Bomser & Dr. Nigel Hampton) not to mention the movement upon its’ axis of our home planet … of course, there were serious moments, as well, but why dwell on the downers when The Sorcerers (www.the-sorcerers.com) are so happy and festive when compared to Bernie Madoff (financial wizard), Sean Hannity (swinehund) or Manny Ramirez (girly drugs).
So, as The Sorcerers await our California State Lottery winnings, we have good news that can be appreciated by our International fans in Sri Lanka, Ipswich and Tierra Del Fuego as well as our local and reliable familiars in Altoona, Whiskey Gulch and Tillamook … the news is:
The Sorcerers’ song, “Summer Is Forever In L-A” has been licensed by Sandra Mohr Productions for use in the new documentary film, “Stock Shock” (www.stockshockmovie.com ). Readers of this Slog can listen to the attached mp3 and are encouraged to email the catchy tune hither and thither throughout the known world without a care.
“Summer Is Forever In L-A” is an examination of the New American financial downturn with an unblinking eye focused on the lowest part of Manhattan Island. The song was submitted to Mohr Productions before The Sorcerers were aware that the documentary explored the short selling of, now worthless, Clear Channel stock. Clear Channel? The so-called Texas broadcasting crime syndicate? Well, my-my-my, that makes all the difference, now The Sorcerers are interested in an evil yet commercial way.
The Sorcerers, heretofore known as America’s Official Secret, courtesy of Martin Jeremiah, Label Chieftain at www.rwgrecords.co.uk may now be in danger of unwillingly shedding this well-earned moniker and standing by for our 13 minutes and 22 seconds of fame. Yes, everything in the New America has been devalued, even predictions by dead New York artists.
Alas, even the above mentioned New American personal suffering turns out to be next to worthless. I n fact, The Sorcerers were nauseated to learn that the old saw: “That which does not kill one only makes one stronger” has been downgraded to “That which does not kill one, gives one a stubborn rash.” Fans of The Sorcerers who would rather substitute the word “you” for the word “one” can take the matter up with P.D. James – and good luck to you – or, one wishes you good luck.
CONTEST TIME: The contest, like all others before it, is secret. Tell no one about the questions, the answers, the sub-text or the other secret stuff. Send answers, comments or pictures of kitties to hipstermedia@msn.com
“Summer Is Forever In L-A” is a song about -
a) the lead character waking up naked in a Volvo station wagon with no memory of the night before but he still has his pirate hat.
b) another example of The Sorcerers’ coruscating, rapierlike, uh, wait, can I start again?
c) how much fun banks can be.
d) Charles Ponzi and his thousands of children and their multitudes of children and how they were transformed by pods from another planet that were mysteriously left in the potting shed.
Free musical gifts from The Sorcerers’ Lab for answers deemed suitable.
Next time in The Letter From America: The Sorcerers’ Slog … and how thousands of new pods were being shipped at a reasonable rate to all the defenseless cities of New America.
