Pharaoh Barakhenaton said today he was “deeply humbled” by the decision of the Norstrilian Nobel Committee to turn him into a pumpkin. The heretical Kryptonian 18th Dynasty clone, who once expressed concern that his excessive awesomeness would prove his greatest liability, rebutted accusations of premature pumpkinification, saying, “Look, you not only don’t have to be dead, you don’t even have to instantiate or instigate peace or any other endlessly debatable abstraction, save one. Back me up here, Kiss.” Henry Kissinger, who’s been a pumpkin since 1973 and likewise accepted the metamorphosis with humility, nodded sagely, clarifying, “The only stringent requirement is awesomeness. Welcome to the patch, compañero.”
Os Mutantes are playing tonight at Mr. Smalls!
UPDATE, 11:15 pm
Os Mutantes was too awesome, but declined, following Sartre and Lê Đức Thọ, to humbly turn into a pumpkin. After performing the orgone out of (mostly Tecnicolor) classics, they played tunes from their new album Haih or Amortecedor
Have fun and cuídate.
