Surely there were people out there who wanted to see Venus and I dig a hole for ourselves on this one, saying something so offensive that God would smite us on the spot, possibly even destroying the city of Waterloo in the process. Well, it's been several days since the show and both Venus and I feel fine, so I figure the old guy's got a sense of humour after all.
Venus -- in her "just fucked the senator" outfit -- gave us some juicy gossip about going to church, which is something I've never done. We both expressed admiration for the showiness of the Catholic church -- all that ritual, glitz, and pompousness -- regardless of the nasty stuff we had to say about religious hypocrisy. We related our weekend experience visiting the Pope...who fell asleep while we were stealing his clothes. What a firecracker, that Pope!
The Peacock phoned in and asked us a very complex, horrifying, and mind-bending question about "Baby Jesus" vs. "Adult Jesus." In hindsight I have to say that "Adult Jesus" would definitely kick the ass of "Baby Jesus" in a fight. Venus' angry song asked the very serious question of "where do people go when they go?" which seemed to rile her up an awful lot, though I admit I had no idea what she was talking about (vodka). My angry song -- Xanadu, dedicated to DJ Al, who didn't play it for me -- elicited an equally angry caller who felt that Xanadu (being cheese) should not be played, which begs the question: "what about Come On Eileen?"
We survived the night. Therefore: God loves us. Thanks God!
