The
Marcy Chronicles Part II
The Marcy Chronicles Part I
Having
watched the sales of her dismal failure of a debut album, “Sing Along With
Marcy” tank, Marcy then went on to record a string of even more
dismal failures, including: “Sing Along With Marcy Again” “Sing
Along With Marcy If You Know What’s Good For You” and “Sing Along With
Marcy, Or Be A Heathen!" Each
LP failed to chart and it looked like dead eyed Little Marcy’s caterwauling days were
done. However, Big Marcy, who by
this point was now mainlining gin, needed cash for her, as she called it,
“juice supply.”
Her
brilliant plan? First, change the
title of the next album. Lost
would be the familiar “Sing Along With Marcy” catchphrase and in its place
would be, uh, “Sing With Little Marcy.”
And Big Marcy’s big plans weren’t done yet! She’d
always felt that the act had
lost a lot of its pizzazz ever since Little Marcy had smashed Mr. Ruminant to
shards and so she added, “Little Cleo” to the group.
Little
Cleo, a 9 year-old piano prodigy dressed like a Pilgrim, was utterly unadorable,
and seriously pissed off a jealous Little Marcy.
During the recording of the album it’s rumoured that, among other
things, Little Marcy
slammed the keyboard cabinet on Little Cleo’s fingers, set her hair on fire
and tried to drown her in a bag full of kittens and snakes.
Later
that year, Little Cleo was found dead by suicide, apparently by repeatedly
smashing herself on the forehead with a rock.
The note she left looked suspiciously like Little Marcy’s handwriting
and L.A. Police considered Little Marcy a prime suspect.
However, they were unable to prove anything.
Sales of “Sing With Little Marcy” went through the roof and Marcy
had her first radio number one single with “You’ll Go Far With A Friend
Like Me!”

The lesbian love triangle.

The
Elevator Hug
Here's a
link
to a little cartoon I volunteered to write for. It's a campaign for
a "Virtual Hug."
This virtual hug is meant to
help raise funds for Meagan’s Walk which raises funds to fight paediatric
brain tumours. Meagan’s Walk was started by Denise Bebenek after her 5 year
old daughter Meagan died of a brain tumour 6 years ago. Every year on
Mother’s Day, Denise leads thousands of people to hug SickKids where Meagan
had received such excellent care. This virtual hug remembers her love of
laughter and of hugs. If it makes you smile, I hope you will
consider sharing this virtual hug with your friends and maybe even
consider donating to this worthy cause.
