CAPTAIN KAZOO / "THE ENDLESS STRUMMER" / 1989

  • 16 years ago
Just minutes before the 1989 San francisco Earthquake hit, I (Captain Kazoo) was rehearsing a parody guitar bit for the United Way Telethon. Needless to say...the Telethon was cancelled and the video tape was never seen again until 20 years later. The point of the parody was that the Flamenco guitar player could get things started but didn't know just how to finish it.
In contemporary usage, a Parody (or Lampoon) is a work that imitates another work in order to ridicule, ironically comment on, or poke some affectionate fun at the work itself.
