Didn't Native American leader Geronimo drive a Cadillac? What happened to that vehicle? How difficult would it be to buy up cars once owned by Elvis, Hemingway, Geronimo, and Al Capone and build a "Cadillac Hall of Fame" tourist attraction?
Is this 28 year old columnist getting too old to put together a pilot episode for a cable TV reality show titled: "On the Road, in a Cadillac, looking for barnfinds"? If so, does that mean that we are too old to do some gonzo punditry about attending our college class' fiftieth reunion?
George Clayton Johnson, who wrote episodes for the first season of the Twilight Zone TV series (and currently is looking to expand his list of Facebook friends), could probably get a modern episode if he chronicled the trials and exacerbations of a fellow who shows up at his college class's fiftieth reunion and he doesn't look like he is a day over 28. What if he is accompanied by a 28 year old female companion? Didn't Bram Stoker leave a chapter on that challenge out of his best book? Or did that happen to Dorian Gray?
Could a scribe with a great imagination write an entire column speculating about what was in "The Mexican Suitcase"?
We had been planning on banging out a quick column for this week predicting that something reminiscent of The Fall of Saigon would soon happen but we can pencile that in for next week's column.
The Le Mans race, the start of the World Cup competition, Father's Day, and assessing blame for the fall of Baghdad will be dominant topics on American TV this weekend so a column about a friend's wedding will offer us a chance to stress the "Fresh Start" symbolism of a June wedding and a chance to wish our friend well in her new life.
Who knows? If we do a really great job on this column, maybe we will get a job offer and a chance to become the Castle Cadillac publicity agent.
Car buffs like the humor that says "Rolls Royce is the Cadillac of automobiles."
Information found online indicates that there are thousands of songs with the word Cadillac in the title and ten times as many with that word in the lyrics and so the disk jockey will play Huey Lewis' "Still the Same," Elton John's album "Yellow Brick Road," and Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." We have to go share the link to this column with all of our posse on Facebook (and ask them to please do the same). Have a "Fall of Saigon 2.0" type week.
