I wouldn’t mind being rich and marginally famous. Seems better than destitute and unknown, that’s for sure.
The problem is, I just don’t want to do spend all that time and effort to make rich and famous happen. Maybe you like working 80 hours a week, climbing the ladder, selling your soul, yada-yada-yada. But not me.
So here’s the beginning of my Top Three Easiest Ways to be on the Fast Track to Fame and Fortunes.
And since it’s the day before Thanksgiving, I thought I’d start with a hit-rich-quick idea, fit for the season.
RICH AND FAMOUS IDEA: WRITE ONE CATCHY THANKSGIVING JINGLE
The Christmas market is saturated. But where are the November tunes? We have to listen to I’ll be Home for Christmas as we drive home in November and it just isn’t right.
Where are the weeks worth of songs, preparing our hearts, minds, souls, and stomachs with the Thanksgiving spirit? We just haphazardly stumble into this blessed day without any soundtrack, which doesn’t give us, the dead turkey who sacrificed himself, or the Pilgrims, due justice.
We need Thanksgiving carols.
That’s when we step in. All we need to do is just write one song, one revolutionary Thanksgiving masterpiece and we’d have the whole market. Then we could just sit back – drumstick in hand, and watch the royalties role in every November, for life.
THANKSGIVING LIFE-SAVING
So here’s one I’m working on one right now. I call it Thanksgiving Life-Saving. It’s going to be HUGE.
Here it goes.
“There was these Pilgrims. They were all starving. They saw all these natives. And watched them all harvesting…
Major guitar build up…
Oh..Oh…Oh…
Can we eat some of your crops.
Oh…Oh…Oh…
Could we form some sort of co-op.
Oh…Oh…Oh…
We have blankets, we have guns.
Oh…Oh…Oh…
Joining together will be so much funs.
Guitar…Guitar…
Violin…violin…Oh wait…more violin….It’s raining violin…where did we get all this violin…
Drums…Crescendo..Cymbals…Cymbals…Cymbals…Done!
What do you guys think?

Can’t wait to hear it on the radio next year. And don’t forget to add some cowbell.
Keep your ears peeled. I’m working on a deal with a three radio stations that will have it on the airwaves tomorrow!
And you’re right, I had been feeling a little feverish. A good prescription would be lots more cowbell.
