Dance Band- The Stepenwolf take off is hilarious. I almost did a spit take with my coffee. Sometimes I almost, almost, think we’re going to miss him when he’s gone. (We really won’t) Our loss is Italy’s gain I suppose. Too bad Slipin Sue didn’t tag along and wear her Halloween costume too.
For decades Bickle had dreamed of being close to his hero but it seems his accumulation of flare over time had led to his being placed in the nosebleed section.

At a downstate Trump rally
Yeah, darlin’

This will save me from electoral disgrace
Fired all of my staff once
And disappeared in this place
I must be smokin’ somethin’
Heavy metal blunder
Breakin’ like the wind
And the feeling that I’m under (30%)
Yeah, darlin’

This will save me from electoral disgrace
Fired all of my staff once
