- OK, I have to announce this here. I *voted* for MacArthur Park, sending
- in the official postcard to his Research Department, Judy Smith.
- Along with it, I included the following (not made up) story:
-
- In my senior year of high school ('75), I was in the school jazz band. We
- were playing the final concert of the year. The last song was
- an instrumental version of, yes, MacArthur Park. As we got to the grand
- finale, we played the
-
- BOM! BOM! BOM!
-
- and the conductor raised his baton for the final crashing chord. Before
- he could bring it down, senior trombonist George Roth, sitting in the
- front row, STOOD UP, slapped his forehead, and shouted "Oh Jesus - the CAKE!"
- George went onto Princeton and greatness.

-
- Sadly, DB chose not to mention me as an alert voter, probably the closest
- I'll ever get.
