Like Woodstock for Lawyers

I received a flyer from the Dee Cee Bar for a CLE session of unusually horrid promise. Entitled "Ethics Rock! A Musical Ethics Program", it is described thus:

This tuneful and nostalgic legal ethics course presents complex legal ethics scenarios as parodies of some of the greatest rock-and-roll hits of the 60's. Expertly performed by professional classic rock performers, this course features stories of lawyers facing ethical difficulties as told through the songs of The Beatles, The Who, Simon & Garfunkel and James Taylor. Among the ethical issues that you will explore through song and lively discussion are basic duties of the attorney-client relationship, fitness to practice law, [Ed. - yadda, yadda, yadda]. Put your hands together for this ethics course that is sure to rock you.

Aw, Geez. Pay a hundred bucks to go watch some aging Boomers making fools of themselves with stupid rock 'n roll nostalgia lawyer jokes? No, thankee.

I'll wait for the 80's version, when we can all learn to Sussudio.

UPDATE: And yes, I know that song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Mwaaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!!!

Dammit. I'd completely forgotten the existence of that song.

Until now.

I saw Phil Collins on Letterman back in the day. He admitted there weren't any girls named "Sussudio," but he expected there would be in another 15 or 20 years--in other words, right about now. For the girls' sake I really hope he was wrong.

Although in college I knew a girl whose hippie parents named her "Sunkist," so you never know.
