Morgan the Music Mogul Man

Feburary 19, 1997

  Some of you older fans might remember my rapping exploits (still
haven't recorded my first single yet.... my producer, Tony "Two Fingers"
DeLibero has been too busy downloading internet pornography to work the
production boards). Besides, some of the record company executives have
been a little critical of my first batch of songs.
Sony Executive: "Let's hear what you've got, um..... DJ Techno Bleep."
Me: Yo, from the rough state of C-T,
most guys are bigger than me,
I'd even take beatings
At those rough chess club meetings.
So I became a little squealer,
sly like a car dealer,
bringing.......

Sony Executive: "Um, do you have any songs where you're NOT a pussy?"
His Yes-Man: "And not so white?"

I couldn't even decide upon a rap name. DJ Techno Bleep is cool, but
I'm not, technically, a DJ. Some of my alternate names - Special K,
Flava Ice, Honda Civic - violated consumer name laws. And my first
video "Whiter Than Your Mother" barely made the MTV Top 1,000 Countdown
of '97.
So it seemed my music career was over. But then I realized something
- I play an instrument! My beloved saxophone! If Kenny G. can make it
big, hell, so could I.
Sony Executive: "Well, Morgan, your saxophone demo needs a little
work. People are gonna notice you saying 'Woops, lemme start over'
after a while."
Me: "No problem."
Sony Executive: "Also, the label has a few problems with your proposed
album title.... we doubt a record called 'Sax Up The Ass' will light up
the charts."
Me: "How about 'Sax With Your Mother?' Or maybe 'Prison Sax?'"

Well, back to the drawing board. Whatever that means.
