Crazy Duo's




Clark Kent has his newspaper writing gig, Bruce Wayne has his philanthropy with billions, and Peter Parker delivers pizza and takes pictures. Every superhero has their alternate identity, mine is sitting at a desk, playing on the internet all day. Fun, I know. Today on a popular news site I read about a broadway musical that is in the works. The music was composed by none other than John Mellancamp. While this is not unusual, due to the fact that many promienant musicians have writting music for Broadway in recent years (Elton John, Billy Joel, etc), the writer of the non-music portions is unusual. In fact, he defines unusual. Stephen King. That's right, a Broadway musical coming to a stage near you, written by John Mellencamp, and Steven King. I can hear it now, "Here's a little diddy, about Jack and Diane; getting chased by ghosts and demons in a haunted piece of graveyard land." This duo is perhaps the most odd pairing since that horrible Tim McGraw and Nelly song. The good news is that I've always wanted to hear the Chevy theme song while I being terrified for my life. Good thing King and Mellencamp paired, or I would never be able to experience that.


Certain duo's don't sit well with the American public. Shaq and Kobe didn't last, neither did Brad and Jennifer, or Michael Jackson and 10-year-olds. Superheroes always get this right. Batman and Robin, Lois and Clark, Wonder Woman and spandex. The celebrity world should take notice from these pairings, and stick to sure fire duo's that won't disappoint. Although, Britney Spears' pairing with the Hair Club for Men would be interesting.... until next time, same Otter-time, same Otter-Website
