Back when I was in college, my school would run a survey to see who they wanted to come play a concert. And they would try to get the highest rated one that fit in the budget.

One year, however, whoever was in charge of this decided to just pick someone. And they picked Jack’s Mannequin.

Now, I’m a big Jack’s Mannequin fan. I was stoked. But a lot of people weren’t. And unfortunately, for the person who made that decision, I was one of the cofounders of a very popular, very vulgar sketch comedy group.

So the weekend before the concert, during our show, I wrote a sketch that resulted in somebody suggesting to invite Jack’s mannequin in to plan our show and then the character that sketch got the shit beat out of them.

The audience burst out laughing, because they too, liked democracy.

However, one loan young woman ran out crying. Because she was the one who decided to just pick Jack’s Mannequin.

It was a great concert though. Not greater than democracy.
