Subject: Parker Award #3
Well it is several days after the riot caused by the Worst Parker Awards broke up the ceremonies.
Today, however, the mood is quite different. Ans HERE! Here comes Bob Dylan to present the next award.
Bob: And the neeeeext awwwwwwwward is forrrr best Parker Alllbum.
And the nominees for the "I know what Im doing, I just cant stop doin' it" Award for the Best Graham Parker Album are:
Howlin Wind--His first and one of his finest. Could it pull out the win?
Heat Treatment--Graham's thumbing his nose at the mere THOUGHT of a sophomore slump.
Squeezing Out Sparks--Certainly the odds on favorite going into the voting. Would it live up to it billing?
Struck By Lightning--Disliked by some in the electorate, loved by many others. Could it pull of the upset?
And the winner is........
In A walk,
Actually the voting was never really in doubt. 'Sparks' got 5 1st place votes while only one other album got more than 1.
