Festivale de Jenny

I am of the opinion that fireworks shows should be choreographed to music. I used to be a purist and think the fireworks themselves were enough, but after seeing a few shows put to music, I think this is the only way to go.
My show would be in Chicago, maybe on the 4th, maybe on some other special day. Here is my set list.

1. Reel 2 Real- I like to move it.
2. Willie Nelson- On the Road again
3. Tina Turner-Rolling on the River
4. Rolling Stones- Shattered
5. Rage Against the Machine- Testify
6. Muddy Waters- Mannish Boy
7. Salt N' Pepa- Schoop
8. Darkness- I believe in a thing called love
9. Wreckx N' Effect- Rump Shaker
10. Johnny Cash- I've been everywhere
11. 1812 Overature

There would be lots of champagne fireworks and no fireworks of smiley faces. There would also be plenty of little maggot fireworks that look like they are going one way then psych you out. They would drop gumdrops and cookie dough upon the enlivened audience, like mana raining down from the heavens. Grown men would weep. The legend of the show would live on through generations and make it into tall tales that no one could ever believe to be true. But those there to witness the spectacle would know that not only was it true, it was the single most important moment of their lives.

Mana from heaven? Or MANNA from heaven? I honestly don't know. In the Nemo household, iot was always manna.

I thought it was public knowledge that Jenny has always loved Latin rock.

can't we do... "we get high in back seats of cars" [boom!] "we break into mobile homes" [boom!] ... "i got a new bag of pot" [boom!] "so let's make a new start" [boom! boom!] ?

i think that would work.

as someone who sees fireworks on a twice-weekly basis, i don't believe such a display can ever be the 'single most important' event of one's life

Dear Rud,

There is little more fantastic, nostalgic and romantic in one package than fireworks.

Hmmmm. . .I was thinking of maybe Talking Heads Burning Down the House. But they would have to get the opening drum beats synced with the fireworks.

I thought for sure your list your favorite Dizzie Rascal Fix Up, Look Sharp as a contender. It has the perfect beat for fireworks.
