"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

Don Caron's "Fifty Ways to Leave the White House"

 This seems to be my day to be writing about music.  I just came across this yesterday, Don Caron's parody "Fifty Ways to Leave the White House".  The lyrics are not only suitably barbed, but Caron's voice, his slightly annoyed, laconic, sarcastic delivery, does a fine and funny job of capturing Paul Simon (the Yiddish "farbissiner punim" captures that personna maybe a little better than the English adjectives).  Enjoy!

Creds:  Caron wrote and sings the song, for the Parody Project,  executive producers Sally Headley, Jack Heighway and Jerry Pender.
