Stephanie Rumley Reviews 9/1 Rock Concert with Mark Muccini-Burke

MYSTERY TOUR ON THE BEACH  9/1

A CONCERT REVIEW BY 
STEPHANIE RUMLEY

Stephanie: Mark, before I voice my opinion, what did you think of the show?

Mark: I thought the first song was terrific

Stephanie: But he didn't sing on the first song

Mark: He? Who he? The two women were superb

Stephanie: What about song #2, "Pills"

Mark: How can a guy who goes to a Christian Science church sing a song about drugs!

Stephanie: How can a city lawyer skip out of his job on Thursdays to collect credit card bills at Somerville District Court

Mark: You got me there!

Stephanie: My problem with "Pills" is that poor Bo Diddley probably never had a sexual connotation to his song.

Mark: What the dickens are you talking about?
The Bo Diddley song is rife with innuendo about a rock and roll nurse down on her knees, and the term rock & roll, which came into vogue in 1954, was a slang term for sex!

Stephanie: 1954, the year Caraviello was born.

Mark: Yes, that's where the "roll" came from

Stephanie: As in jelly roll?

Mark: Or Tootsie Roll, which is why Demets Doughnuts is always sold out with only one customer

Stephanie: Well, there is a line out the door

Mark: Certainly, but Rick takes up all the swivel chairs!

Stephanie: And that's just his belly!

Mark: Calm down, now back to the show.  That Magical Misery Tour thing a capella went over like a lead balloon

Stephanie: But you gotta give him credit for having the instincts to shut it down and go into Sister Ray

Mark: Sister Ray, that dirty filthy song about a transvestite drug dealer named Ray in an iconic Lou Reed composition chock full of murder, depraved sex acts and shooting smack!

Sister Stephanie: Bet he didn't find that in Mrs. Eddy's writings

Mark: Careful or he will sue you for religious discrimination

Stephanie: What the hell, he's suing us for everything else, let's just clutter the docket!
