Radio Rod has now become Karaoke Elvis.
At the Optimus (video production company) block party the “surprise” musical guest was Radio Rod. He rode up in a white stretch Hummer instead of his government issue black SUV. And instead of bodyguards had his Fabulous friend “Fabio”, (who accompanied him to Second City for his appearance at “Rod Blagojevich Superstar!”) And the impeached gov got the same treatment as he did campaigning. Folks do love him – he just has to hope the jury does.
He mentioned he was “wrongfully hijacked from office” – crowd booed – and that he’s been a “day laborer” like his friend Fabio and that he was going to sing a song “You can’t vote against me anymore” and then launched into in his idol Elvis’: “Treat Me Nice,” including the signature Elvis collar, arm, kick and hip movements. When he finished he said that Mayor Daley was going to be up next as Mick Jagger singing “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction”.
Fee not disclosed ($10K) and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Gilda’s Club, a charity that supports cancer patients.
Enjoy!
