Weekly Contest #239

The worst part of being the wife of a rock star is that everyone expects an autograph.  My husband, Jimmy is standing on the stage, wiping sweat from his brow and rolling a fistful of cables. His band just finished a rollicking 60’s tribute concert, after a double encore. Less than a half-hour ago, the fans begged for more, stomping their feet and fist-bumping the air, “One more song!
