Is this comedy? In Oklahoma maybe? In 1931?

Nothing comedic about the Tulsa race riot or Red River Bridge War - and you don't have a f***ing CLUE what I'm referring to there - so you must be citing Green Grow the Lilacs, which spawned "OKLAHOMA!" - which makes perfect sense. Morrissey will no doubt be covering this on an upcoming covers album and tour. Both have been billed as "Gruel for Elevator Dwellers".

Gonna be a proper barn-burner, no doubt! There will be plentiful cheese provided - but bring your warmest Cashmere sweater. The nights get chilly after 8pm, which is when you'll get the cancellation notice and have to walk back to the bus station.
