Song #6 - Video

[fourwayconnection]

Aight, raise your hand if you've heard of Elvis. Or Little Richard. Or Chuck Berry. If you haven't, either you're freakin' lying and I'm calling you out on it or you're from another world so you're excused.

Anyway! They're all forms of rock and roll. Now, if you didn't know, the totally awesome inventor of that was this badass chick named Rosetta Tharpe. Seriously, she made, like, the first rock and roll record, was super popular, all that. She inspired all those guys up there, everyone's popularity combined throughout the ages made it a big thing, and there you go. Music genre.

[That is probably not exactly how it works, but Kirikou is a simple kid.]

But that's how it is in my world. Here, they still have rock and roll- I know, I've seen the CDs and all that- and it's probably in a lot of other people's worlds too. How's that happened? Did it just come around in a completely different way, like different recipes for the same thing? Or are there, like, alternate universe Rosetta Tharpes?

I dunno, just thinkin'.

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

NO, CAUSE I PUT SOME ON A TAPE AND GREG PUT IT IN HER POCKET AND THEN JASON FUNDERBERGER FOUND IT AND WANTED TO LISTEN TO IT DO YOU EVEN REALIZE HOW BAD THAT IS?!

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

...Whoa.

How'd this Jason jerk find it if it was in her pocket?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Because she found it when he was there....

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

Oh eugh. Is there anything you can do? Like tell him to bug off?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

No....she'd hate me then.

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

What, are they friends or something?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Sorta? I'm not....really part of that group....

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

Clique things, huh?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Yeah....

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

Ouch... Sympathies, man.

Maybe you can just talk to her about it? I mean, just tell her "Hey that was meant for your ears only, think you can get it back from that one jerk"?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Well, I did get it back, in the end...

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

Oh, yeah? Jeez, you had me worried! How'd you get it back?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Well it uh...turns out she doesn't have a tape player.

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

[Unable to help himself, he starts to laugh.] What a stroke of freakin' luck!

So, what are your plans now, man?

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

I don't...really know.

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah? Where you stuck at, then? Maybe I can help out.

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

I dunno...I mean, she said she'd come over, but....

Re: Video

[fourwayconnection]

But you're worried she won't?
