Lisa Denton and Barry Courter
BARRY COURTER: Lisa, this is another big week on the music calendar. First, I suppose, is that The Signal will open with a show by Lucero. I got to take a tour of the music and events venue last week, and it looks pretty cool. It will hold 1,500 fans for a concert. They follow with Washed Out, which if you remember was in our Top 5 of possible names for this column. It was right after Who Cares? and Lisa and Barry Who?
LISA DENTON: The latest suggestion, if you hadn’t heard, is Are You Two Still Yapping? Which I’m proud to say we are. We are yappers from way back.
BARRY: Third- and fourth-generation yappers. What’s interesting is that Are You Two Still Yapping just edged out Please Just Stop in our reader poll. That suggestion came from family members too, I might add. Wiseacres and yappers.
LISA: Not to be confused with rappers, although I think a day when we talk in rap lyrics – yap lyrics? – would be pretty awesome. “I said a hip hop / Hippie to the hippie / The hip, hip a hop, and you don’t stop, a rock it out / Bubba to the bang bang boogie, boobie to the boogie / To the rhythm of the boogie of the beat.”
I think Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” pretty much sums up the typical day. Especially the Bubba part. I figure if Dolly Parton can rap, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlLrsOZMl3M, why can’t we?
