Answer Monday!
Whether or not I want to talk about it, people do seem to be asking well-thought out questions about you-know-what in this forum.
Q: How does the following scenario sound as the solution to solve the Song Girl crisis of this decade and bring the squad back to its former glory:
New coaches: Tricia Pillsbury & Dolly Zachary Rouse. Will make sure beauty is paramount and uncompromising. Ms Rouse will not surrender to any notion of political correctness with her no-nonsense, brutal and completely uncompromising style, assuring that "The Look" returns to the Song Girls following a decade-long absence.
New advisor: Celeste Fremon. Serves as a watchdog to make sure no nepotism, cronyism and unethical behavior takes place or is tolerated. Is the voice of reason and fairness.
These three are all Song Girls from the golden era with a proven track record, so wouldn't it make sense that they should be in charge of this great American institution, that has fallen on hard times, rat
her than a former Flag Girl?
A: I can hear those in power cringing at this suggestion that change come to a USC institution. It goes against everything the power brokers want.
Q: In 1988, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young recorded a song written by Neil Young called "American Dream" which was about the decline of an American institution and featured the line "How could something so good go bad so fast?" Could that not be used as an appropriate theme song for the USC Song Girls in the 2000s?
A: We already have a song for this cause?
Q: Do you think the current coach of the Song Girls will claim that Tricia Pillsbury's invitation to the year's Song Girl reunion was "lost in the mail," so that Ms Pillsbury will not show up and completely embarrass every Song Girl from the 2000s?
A: I don't know but the reunion could be a lot more interesting this year.
Q: Are the USC Song Girls getting farther away from what they used to be and closer to being a clone of the Stanford Dollies?
A: Personally, I don't think they could ever be compared to the ``dollies.''
I can't believe that so many people are still so interested in this topic and that people have so much to say about it.
I don't see what's so bad about this Song Girls squad compared to those of the past. Someone here posted a link to a site with pictures of song girls from years past, and it seems like there's a consistent ratio of girls who are smokin' to those who are not terribly attractive.
This seems to be a generational thing.
