Evergroove trivia, pt. 89

Submitted by stevenl on Thu, 01/05/2006 - 4:25am.

Some of Evergreen's most famous graduates have made their reputations in the entertainment industry. The following person is probably not one of them.

There was an open mike night in the CAB in the late 1970s, and for some reason this guy was the one who really made the biggest impression on me. He had a guitar and played only one note with a teeth-jarring BLANG! I even used him as the basis for a character in Bezango WA 985 (see Evergroove trivia, pt. 39), and here is how I recorded his lyrics and playing:

"Duh-pressionnnnnn"

(Pause)

BLANG!

"Ree-jectionnnnn"

BLANG!

"Frrus-trationnnnn"

(Pause)

BLANG!

"Dee-jectionnnnn"

(Pause)

BLANG!

"Aaaalien-ationnnnn"

(Pause)

BLANG!

In an ideal world, a musical piece like this should indeed be a work of improvisation. However, the deadly and earnest way in which this endeavor was presented strongly suggested this was *shudder* a sincere and previously composed and rehearsed melodious delight.
