I don’t know what I was thinking about… three little pigs and the festival of Yalda… strange stuff. It’s not even a song. Sadly, when voicing the “Little” Joey Campbell part, I was actually trying to sound like James Earl Jones.

No song I’ve ever written has elicited more scrutiny than “Reindeer Power”. It has received equal amounts of  praise and criticism from environmental groups, energy leaders and animal rights advocates alike. “It is this type of bold, innovative thinking that we need if we are to stem the tide of our warming planet and rising oceans” said the Director of EPA Gina McCarthy’s administrative assistant’s intern, Dorothy Knox. Meanwhile, the custodian at the Humane Society of New York, Tommy “Hawkeye” Bowman, has been overheard mumbling to himself that “Mussen is one sick mother for encouraging the exploitation of reindeer to power America’s war industry!” This is usually followed by a diatribe of conspiracy theories that include myself, Jay-Z, Santa Claus, and the Illuminati. Lastly, Danny “Speed Bump” Speer, the Limousine driver for the embattled former President of British Petroleum, Tony Hayward, said “As the long as the reindeer run on oil, I couldn’t give a sh*#”. I enjoyed writing this song. That Joe Rozler is one talented fella, isn’t he?

Well, I bought a lap steel which I don’t know how to play. What a great soundtrack for a tale of holiday emotions gone wrong? I was thinking Joe Meek.
