Play of the Day by Phil Drabble

It is Him

The scene: The demon crawls from its pit, writhing in unadulterated 1970’s skin tight white Chinos, black belted and a satin induced charm. He edges around rock n roll’s legacy like a fallen angel intent on seducing Donnie Osmonds mantle of King of Pop, but lying in wait is Janis Joplin with a garden spade hoist up in the cooling night’s air, ready to fall on the idols career.

Janis: Not so fast Framps, me and Bobby MaGee here are riding your train to the ground.

As he turns to sight the unflappable MaGee Janis momentarily panics.

Bobby: Now red-lips, baton him rouge baby, now...

Narrator: As the plot weakens, will Janis do the honourable thing and does Bobby get what he came for? Find out next week if Frampton survives. Meanwhile hang on to this week quiz:

1) What comes after the line ‘na, na. na. na. na. na’ in Janis Joplin’s ‘Me and Bobby Magee’ and who wrote it?

3) Saxifrage is a type of what?

4) Which animal was used by Jenner when developing a vaccine against smallpox?

cf’s Quiz Night…coming soon

WHO AM I? – 2010 – lost in cyber space; the last run of clues were gotten eon’s ago, but lost somewhere ‘out there’ - it was of course Leonard Nemroy – sorry, no it wasn’t, it was Nemo. So off to a new clue: “I stripped to the bone to be unlike Frampton” – Numero dos, “I’m not Peter Frampton but teenagers love me.” Three, “75m for an album and tour – I’ll take that.” – four “Married – I’ll take that.” – five – “I don’t sing R&B I am R&B!”

Is it me?
