Once upon a time, when dairy products weren't wreaking havoc on my digestive system, I'd had a long day working hard, first with doing drills with the Lighthouse Brigade Marching Band, and then only grabbing a doughnut from Bendtsen's Bakery as a quick lunch (I was young and skinny, and could afford to eat like that, back then), and then helping to cut the grass at my house, and then the elderly lady's next door (who paid me with coke and home made chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and granted, very good, it was even too much sugar for me, as an active teenager....) I would have appreciated a glass of milk with the cake, but especially after the coke, even just one drop... nothing to be found... shoot, my younger siblings finished off the milk at breakfast, and my mom wasn't home from the store yet... Maybe Nissemech will have some milk to spare, because he likes milk with cookies...
Then, holy kamole! Walking through the business district of West Racine, is this some kind of hallucination, or who is this lady, anyway? Marylin Milk? The crowd laughs, obviously knowing this lady wearing a milky way dress.
Marylin Milk
Dang, just as I was wanting to just look for a glass, I am not sure what to make of this... Then I hear Trevor heckling out "Got milk"? It's almost as if she is wearing silk milk and dancing to Nina's band jamming out the 3 chord blues named Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys...
Then I hear C.C. make a request for a reading or two, first Lines on the Mermaid Tavern, and when the applause came to a stop, she, herself gets up to read The Human Seasons. What a reading! All are awed by C.C.'s performance, and I look around, and the milk girl has disappeared... And then the party rolls on, with Old Time Rock and Roll... Strange. Very strange. Truth is always stranger than fiction.
