Installment 3: Karaoke Superstars...
Quick...Name two things that when mixed together, can become highly toxic, and present a grave danger to all life within the immediate vicinity.

It was Brutal.
I'm not talking about the Off-Key, Out-of-Synch Butcherings of Islands in the Stream, I Got You Babe, or (shudder) The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Those were bad enough to sterilize cattle.
No. That's not the worst part.
I am talking about the Horror of The Colonel being finally talked into taking the stage, getting two notes into his song, and discovering that somewhere in the last six months he has completely lost the ability to sing.
We're talking a crash & burn that makes the Stone's Super Bowl Appearance sound like The Three Tenors.
Within seconds of starting the song, I knew it had been a HUGE mistake, and so did the audience. But I pressed on like a guy who didn't know where the exit was. (I didn't)
When I finished, the crickets weren't even chirping.
The Bleach & Ammonia are starting to look pretty good.
