What's Ahead

Tomorrow look for a new lyrics analysis on Elvis Costello's "(Every Day) I Write The Book."

Later this week, you people are in for a real treat. I will be bringing back the Old Testament custome of BLESSING PEOPLE. I will bestow special blessings on all the Jive To The Monkey regular commentators. You folks have already benefitted so much from the Jive show, but now you will benefit even more.

Just think of the world-wide exposure you've been granted -- why, you've become house-hold names. All of America, for instance, knows Joel The Metro to be a rabbit-and-tiger thief. And people are busting out with "Seizure Later" everywhere from the city streets to rural farms, in imitation of good ol' boy Will Wyman. Nikki Tatom is soon to become more famous than her hero, Patty Griffin, and of course, while only a smattering of people know of "Tom Branch," the masses adore "Dr. Tom."

Then you take a real nobody like Lorie King. A nothing, before she stumbled onto Jive To The Monkey. And now she's a Grammarian Sensation. Of course, she failed to provide the expected psycho-analysis of my nickname, but millions of school children still hone their spelling skills every day, in the hopes that they can be like King.

And we can't leave out Cheryl Rupp, whose randomness has become legendary. Every day, more and more people are finding shoes, wondering "Could this be the latest pair that Cheryl lost?" And Jason "The Damage" Ramage, "The E Machine," "Gamesmaster" Brian Laffin ... what a colorful cast of characters. All in store for special Jive To The Monkey blessings.

Look for it right here, your one-stop blessing shop. Tell all your friends. This is gonna be so jive!
