Just before 7:00 o'clock tonight, Larry Elder, the Sage from South Central played part of THE BALLAD OF MIKE MORAN on his show. It was the world premiere.
Larry came out of a commericial without saying anything and played the clip from Mike at the concert. He then went right into the song and played about a third of it.
Thanks, Sage.
Okay, FReepers, Al Rantel is coming up next. Please call him at 800.222.5222 and ask him to play "the fireman song."
This is exciting!
As a fellow black conservative, I relate to Elder quite well.
He and I have much in common; weve both encountered considerable flack from the so-called tolerant left.
Seems as long as you march in lockstep with their liberal ideology, they tolerate you.
But dare to think for yourself, or worse, become a successful black man in white America, and youre abruptly ostracized.
ELDER ROCKS!!!
The lyrics and MIDI can be found HERE.
It was recorded last Thursday and has been sent to several radio shows, including Hannity and Malzberg. I delivered two copies today to KABC in Los Angeles.
Do you have a link that we can hear the actual recorded song?
I saw your version of the song a couple weeks ago on FR as you were working the lyrics, and was hoping to hear it soon.
Is this the same Elder who was Judge Elder on Moral Court? If so, I always enjoyed listening to his words of wisdom.
I second this question, Doug.
I hope FReepers will be calling into their radio stations across the country to ask for the "fireman song."
I was able to talk to Mike Barnicle a few days ago on the phone and play part of it for him. He will be playing it on his Boston show. A FReeper is delivering copies to Hannity and Malzberg, and he can probably get it into Rush's hands.
