I have no idea why they agreed to play 
in Dollywood.  They must have been bloody 
crazy.  They don't even sing any country 
songs.  About halfway through "The Magic of 
Retsin," they all started chanting "Dolly, 
Dolly, Dolly."  The crowd started getting 
ugly, you know, as if they weren't ugly before.  
They sort of calmed down (but remained just 
as ugly) when the band launched into "Duck 
(There's Not Enough Clearance)."  But when 
the song was over, the crowd got rough again, 
'cause that's the only half-country song they 
do.  So the band just started singing a country 
song.  Just right of the top of their heads.  
It was something about Paul losing his girlfriend 
to a rodeo clown named 'Whisper.'  I only 
remember bits and pieces of it.  At one point 
in the song, Paul was so frustrated he took a 
rubber mallet and mashed up all the clown's 
make-up.  That was rather traumatic for the 
crowd.  They were crying at the end when 
Whisper, you know, the clown, finally lost 
the girl.  Not to Paul, but to a truck driving 
drag queen named Kissy Rose.  Then Dolly came 
out on stage, tears running through her inch-
thick make-up.  She enjoyed the song so much 
she asked the band to stay and play for the 
next week.  They declined, considering the 
fact that that show only paid about 2000 rons.  
That's not as much as you think, especially 
divided among 7 or 8 people.
