“Ronald Reagan” aims to revitalize America’s economy by promoting large tax cuts, moderate deregulation, reductions in inflation, and a revival of 80’s pop music.
Following undistinguished careers in film, actors-turned-saxophonists Kelly Roberge and Alec Spiegelman recruited an ensemble of Boston’s finest rock musicians to the 13-piece ensemble that they named “Ronald Reagan”.
However, only a short time into the bands existence, the sidemen went on strike, violating a band regulation prohibiting critical players from striking. Declaring the situation an emergency, analogous to those described in the 1947 Taft Hartley Act, “Ronald Reagan” held a press conference in which Kelly and Alec stated that if the musicians “did not return to work within forty-eight hours, they have forfeited their jobs, and will be terminated.” Two days later, “Ronald Reagan” fired the 11 striking musicians who had ignored the order to return to work. Historians cite this as one of the biggest setbacks to the power of organized labor in 80’s pop cover band history.
“Ronald Reagan” currently performs as a saxophone duo, and is currently seeking Boston’s finest (non-union) musicians to complete the band in anticipation of a 20011 tour to Grenada.
Hmmm. "We Are the World." Get about two-dozen sax players and have them sway together while they play, with occasional solos...but can you make a sax sound like Bob Dylan?
Thanks for the add, RR. It was a treat to finally see you at Campfire this past weekend. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for me to go nail my solo in "We Are the World"...
Its because of strong minded leaders like yourself that we don't have to worry about big labor breathing down our necks every time we want to play atwoods!
Yeah. Austin. Live music capital of the world (or so they say). It took a strange summer to get me here but I can't complain. It's an amazing city. Y'all have a great crash if you ever take RR home to the blue states.
