She Loves You...Whatever, Whatever, Whatever

Pigdump's Honourary Editor Laureate, Agnes Gooch, got good and ticked off this week. Seems one of the Fab Four poo-poo-ed the old Royal Family in front of a bunch of 3rd rate journalists (who else would cover the Ringo-Rama tour?) And that wasn't even the worst of it! We'll let her tell you the story:

"Early in my career, I covered the social scene in small town Ontario. I was stationed in the Sunshine Town of Mariposa, the Woodstock of Canada. Huh. Woodstock, my eye!

I would go out and watch the local theatre, taking the pulse of the small town psyche through their arts programs. I used to enjoy one summer theatre group in particular that performed every week at a local resort out on the Rama Road, just past the reserve. And let me tell you this, my friends, if you think the liberal thinking of the day - of helping out and raising up the minorities and the meek and the aboriginals - was turning into growth and prosperity for said needy folks, well you must have potatoes for brains. Or worse!

That Rama reserve was a shame. There was no help there, no trickle-down. I tell you, if someone back then had said to me Agnes, one day a Beatle will perform in Rama, well I would have had to hold my sides before they split!

So here we are, years later, and wouldn't you know it? A Beatle has played Rama -- twice! And though sad-eyed Ringo used to boast folks like Rick Danko, Nils Lofgren and John Entwistle in his All-Starr Band, this year's line-up features the guy from Men At Work, some British guy, John Waite who had a haircut hit in the 80's, and Sheila E!

And Ringo dares to tell the world that the Royal Family is no longer relevant???! That Liz and her clan have worn out their welcome? Puleeeease!

And another thing, Mr. Starkey, Casino Rama, the glitterbug that rose out of the work and sweat of its native people is NOT in Toronto, Canada as your sad pathetic web site says. It's on the proud Rama Reserve just outside the sunny town of Mariposa! So stick that in your God-Save-the-Queen and smoke it!"

Well. Heh heh. You gotta love old Agnes, eh? Heh heh.

Please don't sue us...heh heh...

Thanks and good luck.
