A little Rod Serling goes a long way.

I’m throwing in a little song I wrote. After 9/11 I remember Mayor Giuliani going on Saturday Night Live and delivering a monologue. He ended it with a joke based on the question “Is it OK to be funny?” I thought about what a profound question it was and also what a statement about our times. Anywho, that’s what inspired the writing of this one. The performance is by one of the bands I put together called “Consuelo’s Revenge.”
