LOL but he's made a lot of money out of it - and "Jesus Christ Superstar" was originally a rock opera, the album having an interesting line-up. His choice for Desert Island Discs is the most personally memorable, which went serious/ rock/ serious /rock etc, including the Shostakovitch Cello, the only one of two musical discoveries I've made from the programme in 40 years of listening. The other was that of a choice by the remarkable Ian Drury. He included a piece by Ornette Coleman, the bass riff of which he admitted he had lifted for the tune "Sex & Drugs & Rock'n'Roll". Drury related that he confessed this to Charlie Haden who played it, and Haden responded by saying not to worry because he had lifted it from a Cajun tune!!!

As Governor-for-Life Rideout emeres from his luxuriously-appointed three-storey hut around mid-day, monocled and resplendent in "field grey" uniform, and tapping his high leather boots (Storm's skin had proved more resilient than its original owner had been) with his riding crop, he is smugly pleased to see that Danbo, Dude, Velvet and others have been up for hours, and are dutifully toiling away at their appointed tasks in the wheat and barley fields. Not seeing Garten, he is at first wrathful, until he recalls that the wispy and pasty-skinned Brit, unable to tolerate the sun, had been transferred to brewery duty (where he is, even now, surreptitiously, and in direct contravention of Rideout's orders, and the centuries-old Bavarian Purity Law -- a flogging will surely ensue -- adding twigs and coconut husks to a certain golden elixir). Discipline remains a problem -- but perhaps the upcoming gala execution of the rebellious Dutch youth (caught trying to build a signal fire) will put the irksome issue forever to rest....
Pausing to ascertain that all is well with a certain crop (reserved for the Governor's private use, and fertilized with the remains of the departed Stormcrow), and satisfied that the peasants have not been at it again, Rideout hears the opening lines of one of his favourite selections booming from the monster stereo that he has ingeniously constructed from the various players he had justly confiscated from the other, less-cultured and deserving castaways.
As The Who's Roger Daltry sings: "Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals," Rideout muses that it is indeed hard work ordering these menials about, but reflects that someone had had to take charge of the riff-raff, and who better than he?
Strolling back into his hut (more of a plantation house, or fortess, really), Governor Rideout wonders if he should order the planting of cotton, before retiring again to his four-poster king-sized bed, and the welcoming (if immobile) arms of his Mariah doll.
It's a GOOD life....

Thanks, but I don't require your approval, Velvet, just your unquestioning obedience.

Danbo and Dude secretely meet amidst the waving wheat stalks and lament the escape of fellow miscreant, Velvetclown. "Hope he makes it, the bloody bugger," says Dude. Crikey. Danbo informs the Aussie about his meeting with Garten, the prancing Brit smoker. Rideout's leadership is wavering as they speak. Holding the Prog CDs ransom. So dear to the castaways is the music of their lives that they indentured themselves to the devious despot.
(Flashback) "Seems ol' Rideout wants an ale at each bleeding meal, wot," relates the nicotine stained hero. "Well Jim," responds the muscular Californian with wavy hair and deep azure eyes, "give the bastid a swallow of your British recycled pilsner, old chap." Hmm, bottoms up Rideout. HAHAHAHHA
(Back to the wheat) "Okay, dude. Mariah's yours when it's all said and done. Just make sure the breathing has completely stopped for two whole minutes. I don't want to take a chance on the bugger resurrecting himself." Danbo contemplates the old professors lack of musculature, Mariah feeding him as his arms are too weak to lift a common kitchen fork. Totally defenseless, the pathetic imp. "I'll show that Prog stealing Canadian a thing or two." Danbo grasps pile of discarded Mariah Carey CDs, all that's left after Rideouts burglary, and flings them against the palm frond covered side of Rideout's "fortress."

^ Thanks Danbo -- a most worthy addition! You even managed to use the correct "it's."
But recall: unable to live with only 12 selections, the fragile Stormcrow (the proghole formerly known as "Velvet") had died by his own palsied hand. (He listened to M.C. until he died of poor taste -- took all of 2 hours -- an agonizing death!)

Thanks Diddy! (I should perhaps point out that I teach at a college, not a university -- in Canada the two are not the same.)
I do like to inject humour into my teaching -- oddly enough, my students seem to enjoy it....
