"Good Evening,I'm Tom Brokaw and welcome to the NBC Nightly News!" "It's a sad day in the world of folk singers and singer/songwriters today,as a third accomplice with terrorist ties has been fingered!"
"As we know former singer Cat Stevens has been denied entry into the U.S. and folk Laurete Gordon Lightfoot is in solitary lockdown & only being allowed to eat Bitter Green lettuce and Wild Strawberries!"
"Today the greatest shock of all when the reclusive David Gates,formerly of the group Bread,was lead away in hand and ankle cuffs!"
"The SWAT team said Gates didn't put up a fight or resist but that they feared for their lives just the same!"
"To quote the Captain of the team,"There's just something the White House and Homeland Security find troubling about his lyrics and his singing!" "He sings so high for a man,it's obviuosly a very cleverly disguised morse code to Bin Laden!"
"Think about it,
"If","Everything I Own","Diary","Baby I'm A Want You","Make It With You","Lost Without Your Love"!! "Codes and signals under the guise of sweet mushy sentimentality!" "C'mon! No one's "that" sensitive!"
"David Gates had no spoken comment but is currently protesting from his cell with repeated chouruses of "Mother Freedom" and switching to "Make It With You" just to torment the prison guards."
"When we continue,Neil Diamond..."Just what did he really mean by "Cracklin' Rosie". ????
