I seem to have something of an affinity with Screamin' Jay - the camaraderie
of the performance artiste, perhaps? I'd certainly have loved to have
appeared on stage with that exotic gentleman.
He could have had his usual props - skulls and garish clothing, while I
would have appeared in my favourite garb of neatly pressed brown shirt,
knife-edge creased black trousers, and highly polished thigh length leather
boots ( I do so love leather boots) - all complimented by an attractive red
armband featuring a highly stylised symbol set in a white circle, and (of
course) a pliable bullwhip.
Oy Vey!! - I'd have injected a new sense of urgency into Jay's manic
capering as he lifted his feet to the beat of the Horst Wessel, I can tell
you!
It could have been billed as a true celebration of multi-culturalism,
already - 'Mastery Over The Beasts', perhaps?
I'm sure that Jay, being the Funster he was, would have appreciated it,
already.
