Pledge Week, First Draft Style

It’s that time of the year, folks. I’ll let ourpublisher, the crazy ferret lady, speak for us soclick here. She knows better than to let Jude or me near the money so it won’t go for a bar tab or ruby slippers for Oscar to slip his head into…

For my part, I thought I’d replicate PBS pledge drive programming. WYES in NOLA either runs endlessly nostalgic documentaries about local stuff that’s long gone OR has cheesy pop music programming. I chose the latter course by posting an early Bee Gees tune. But it’s a good one from the days when they sounded quite Beatlesque or like a proto-Tears For Fear. This is a real corker of a tune with a Macca-like opening that morphs into a Lennonesque piano pounder.
