1 So...Rodney Dangerfield walks into a bar...
2 They're dropping like flies, I tellya.
3 I'll get to The Rock Concert soon enough, but let's begin this morning with a few quotes from the immortal Dangerfield.
4 Here go:
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always
found them.
I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I
was being ridiculous. I haven't met everyone yet.
5 Rodney, we hardly knew ye.
6 Back to school...
7 The Rock Show last night turned into an amazing night. Nik told me that everything that possibly could have gone wrong DID, and still it went off without a hitch. Special thanks go out to Nik for pushing like hell for four years just to get me past my stubbornness. Of course, the thank-yous could go on from here to eternity, but certainly the bands who performed with so much heart and soul deserve our recognition. To the very talented young bands Called to Ruin, Undergone, Vindictive Tomorrow, A Life in Vain, and Redfall, you guys performed beyond the call of duty. Some of you just turned into blood, and made anyone who has ever felt pain scream to the heavens. That's pure rock. Thanks for bringing back pure rock. Thanks for playing and helping our Senior Class. And thanks, all of you, for your professionalism. I was quite impressed.
8 To my wonderful Senior Class officers, you guys ALWAYS amaze me! Thank you!!! Every moment...ya know?
9 To alumni: you guys SO rock!!! I get a refreshing feeling every time you guys drop by!!!
10 And to Jose, your lights are magic, my amazing fellow. We joke, but without you, it wouldn't have been close. You're an artist, and it's time someone said it.
11 And most important, to the audience: way to show the school that we should have more!!!! You guys made the show for all of us, so thanks so much for coming and rockin' your butts off!!! Every band appreciates YOU most of all.
12 And Mr. Moser...you were right, dude.
13 Fun stuff!
14 And to the Bands, if I may send you a message from the immortal Willy Shakespeare:
If music be the food of Love,
play on...
--King Lear
15 Peace.
