Today’s Advent piece is, well, not really Adventy. But it certainly is seasonal.
It’s Chuck Berry’s “Run, Rudolph, Run”, okay?
The song was written in 1958 by Johnny Marks and Marvin Brodie.
Marks also wrote “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, but I will not hold that
against him at the moment. It’s bluesy and rocky and just what we need to get
us jumpstarted.
I do have questions, tho. I mean—Rudolph as the “mastermind”?
Mastermind of what? And what’s he doing, asking the kids what they want for
Christmas? Isn’t that Santa’s job?
BTW—here’s a reindeer from my neighborhood. He appears to have had
two of his legs amputated, and I confess my first thought was “venison roast”.
I think the homeowners had a similar notion. The deer is now gone.
