One who makes beautiful music with political overtones meets a political analyst and both jump into a freezing cold lake together? You can’t make this stuff up because nobody would believe it.
* The Priceless Paul Green took the Polar Plunge for charity and it was a slam dunk for all

Sideshot - Paul Green got a wonderful picture with part-time Chicagoan and Taylor Kinney finance Lady Gaga
Downshot - After the plunge, many warm whisky shots were had by all.
The Powerful Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke and the irreplaceable Justice Anne Burke were having lunch nearby with Jay Doherty being over the moon about something.
