Transcript
Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:It is time for my favorite time of the week when we chat with my dear old friend Bama, who lives down in rural Alabama.
Speaker A:She's joining us on the phone now.
Speaker A:And, Bama, have you seen this thing about the big America's birthday concert?
Speaker A:But a bunch of performers have dropped out now.
Speaker A:It's just Vanilla Ice.
Speaker A:Pretty much the only one left.
Speaker B:Yeah, hey, Stack, I seen it.
Speaker B:And just tell me, what exactly is the problem?
Speaker B:I mean, folks are making fun of it, but I can guarantee you they ain't never seen no Vanilla Ice live.
Speaker A:Oh.
Speaker A:Oh, so you're a.
Speaker A:You're a Vanilla Ice fan?
Speaker B:A fan?
Speaker B:Honey, that man is an artiste, a visionary, a cultural landmark.
Speaker B:I put him right up there with Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, and whichever one of them Oak Ridge boys had the beard.
Speaker A:Oh, goodness, that is.
Speaker A:That's quite a ranking.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And let me tell you something.
Speaker B:Back when Ray Ray had the grand opening for his bait shop bail bond place, Vanilla Ice performed.
Speaker A:Oh, of course he did.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I ain't been that blown away by art since I seen Roddy Piper give Randy Savage a concussion with a piece of plywood.
Speaker A:Now, Bama, I don't think that's generally considered art.
Speaker B:Now, that's where you're wrong, honey.
Speaker B:Art is anything that makes you feel something.
Speaker B:And watching a man get hit with lumber made me feel pleas.
Speaker A:Oh, goodness.
Speaker A:So I guess you're planning on trying to go.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker B:Vanilla Ice is a national treasure.
Speaker B:Shoot, I still got a cassette tape of his greatest hit somewhere.
Speaker B:It melted to my dashboard in 94.
Speaker B:But the spirit remains.
Speaker A:Bama, I've got to admit, I'm honestly impressed by your commitment.
Speaker B:Well, you should be.
Speaker B:These young folks do not appreciate greatness.
Speaker B:They got all these fancy artists with their choreography and their production values.
Speaker B:And Vanilla Ice once performed through a power outage using only a flashlight and pure determination.
Speaker A:Now, Bama, did that actually happen?
Speaker B:Well, to be honest, I don't know, but it sounds true.
Speaker A:Okay, fair enough.
Speaker B:Anyway, I gots to go.
Speaker B:I'm gonna try to get tickets to this concert, but first I need to check and see if I'm still legally required to stay 500ft away from Vanilla Ice.
Speaker A:Oh, no, I'm afraid to ask.
Speaker B:Now, he was just a misunderstanding involving a jet ski, a fog machine, and an autographed fanny pack.
Speaker A:Of course it was.
Speaker B:We'll see you later, sugars.
Speaker B:Have a good day.
Speaker B:Talk to y' all later.
Speaker B:Bye.
Speaker B:Bye.
