Corporate Rock-n-Roll Camp
Buried on page A7 of today's Wall Street Journal is an ad for something called the Corporate Rock-n-Roll Fantasy Camp, coming to a "city near you" soon. "Live the fantasy," the ad says.
See? I'm not the only one!
Sept. 10 in Columbus, campers will perform in a "Battle of the Bands" with Teddy Andreadis of Guns-n-Roses (who?), Simon Kirke of Bad Co. ("Shooting Star," the best of the dead rock star anthems), Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, far left, of the Doobie Brothers (Thank-You Jesus, no Michael McDonald -- he's the prick in the center) and Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger. The winners of the battle will serve as the opening act in a concert by Def leppard and Journey. Score!
In February 207 in Hollywood, a special five-day camp will feature Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead (BYOS -- Bring Your Own 'Shrooms). A similar camp in May in London features Jack Bruce of Cream (if he's still alive by then; dude is like 80).
Shame on camp organizers for hiding the candy, so to speak. Other counselors include Peter Tork of The Monkees and Kip Winger of the seminal hair band Winger.

What the hell are you doing reading the Wall Street Journal?! And I thought your rock star dreams died at writing camp.
