It's Come To This
Monday, March 15, 2010 at 7:17PM Begging. Yes, old fashioned spare-changing-on-the-corner "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" begging. Hey, I learned from the best. If Robert Stacy McCain can scream at his readers to "Hit The Freakin' Tip Jar!" AND THEY DO!...then, by gum, here we go.
I have to get to California this weekend to shoot a video with the Pasadena Patriots people. If you're not familiar with their wonderful work, look here, here and, most recently, here. That last one is Victoria Jackson and her viral 'There's a Communist Living in the White House," which they shot barely nine days ago and it already has over 220k hits. (And this one has young Cassone as the innkeeper, my big break.)
I wrote a song, "King Obama," a spoof on the usurper-in-chief in "A Mighty Wind" retro-theme. So we will play the Free Radicals, singing our way through a Chase Peterson interview. And I am not going to miss it. So, hit the tip jar or I shoot this kitten:
(regrets to National Lampoon.)
OK, that IS over the top and not at all the Christian thing to do. No, the Christian thing is to give. Even Jonah Goldberg documents that we are the most giving nation. So don't let him down. My flight is $483 and my loving girlfriend is even splitting it with me (and she doesn't even know yet that I am dying to go to Searchlight for the Tea Party Express kickoff...shhh, I'll be the one to break it to her.)
So, come on...how hard is it to raise $241? I will sell space on my guitar, if you must, sort of like NASCAR ads on the driver's clothes. Prove me wrong...that McCain really sells crack to kids on the corner and the tip jar is just a ruse, but g-g-g-ive. Reminds me of the Henny Youngman line about meeting a bum in the street who said he hadn't eaten for a week. So he said, "Force yourself."
Really. This is the Arts, Conservative style, and we don't get big funding, nor, actually, do we want it.
Hit El Teep Jar ( a little Mexacali, as we will be shooting in SoCal) and if you do, I'll let you know where we will be shooting on the street in Pasadena...
more to come
