Check, one two.
Check, one two.
Check, one two.
This posting by my favorite blog princess got me thinking: " How come mike checks suck?"
After 70+ years of amplified music, hasn't anybody ever come up with a better mike check. How is it that the most politically sensitive and creative amongst us still employ the most brain-dead, lazy, boring, stupid, lame, etc., methods to make sure that their voice will reach an adoring crowd? Is it enough that perpetually sun-glassed Bono simply cough "check, one two" into a mike, a mike that later might, should the G-8 listen, SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD? Should Sir Paul McCartney be permitted to simply mug and smirk without SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER through his mike checks? I think not.
How about a contest: Best Modern Mike Check. I challenge you to devise the best, honest to God, mike checks for whomever.
Make 'em real.

Well...it's a weekend. I am easily distracted.
Don't leave me hanging, Cass. I haven't even come up with one yet.
Yeah, come on Cass. Besides if you change your mind after you post, you can delete it with one of those "comments removed by author" notices and have us all really scratching our heads:)
No no no. Don't encourage spd.
How about, "Can you hear me now?"
