February 29, 2008 - Music Business Laid To Rest

After nearly six years in a persistent vegetative state, Music Business was taken off life-support last Saturday night and died a few hours later. The final resting place is unknown, but it is thought to be hidden somewhere on the American Idol soundstage. His nearest surviving relative, Karaoke, had waged a court battle since 2002 for the right to withhold the use of "extraordinary means" to keep him alive. Karaoke has consistently maintained that Music Business would never have wanted to live like this. In an unusual move, Karaoke actually pulled the plug, herself. At a press conference, Karaoke said that the world has lost a true giant of the arts. Through large aquatic reptilian tears, she lamented that the entertainment world will never be the same and urged calm and restraint during this time of uncertainty. Per Music Business' request, there will be no funeral, but friends will gather throughout the week at the Iddi Biddi MIDI Lounge in downtown Los Angeles for reminiscing and fake live music. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting vocal lessons.
