   About Power Salad
Power Salad is a comedy music group regularly heard on the nationally-syndicated "Dr. Demento Show" as well as college and independent stations in the US and in the Netherlands. The group evolved out of Akron Ohio's radio comedy group Zot Theater in the late 1980's, and has released 3 CDs of funny music. Performing member Chris Mezzolesta has represented Power Salad live at fan cons including the huge GENCON in Milwaukee 2001, ALCON (Weird Al/funny music con) in Chicago 1998/2000/2002, and Dementia 2001 in Detroit 2001. Another rare live performance happened Sunday March 4, 2007 at MARSCON 2007. The group is on independent Marianth Records, distributed by Orchard Records.

In an attempt to find an MP3 of "Dead Puppies" I learned two things:

1. You have recorded a cover of said song.

2. Your stuff is on eMusic. com

I am downloading a bunch of songs from The White Album as I post this.
Can you autograph these MP3s?

All around, the dark prevails, leaving a single lone spotlight to seek out the important person from amongst the gossamer.

IT'S YOU!

IT'S YOUR BIIIIRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTHHHHHHHDDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Now, I'm really not one to encourage binge drinking - but under paragraph 1, sub-section C of the "Being On My Friends List Code" it states : "At no point shall a birthday be passed over without inebriation of the highest order, nor is it permissable for a good time not to be had." So - there you go!

IT'S THE LAW! Throw some Eighties music and a dancing Rhinocerous into the mix and you're bound to have a good time!

Happy Birthday!



Joel :-)
