one of the young sultans of qatar waited alone for the meeting of the arab league to begin... He listened to his i-phone ... Justin timberlake... His favorite song 'crimea river' ... His dance moves were astounding... Groundbreaking... Michael jackson...bobby brown and mc hammer all in one... Wow... His four wives and there kids were safely at home...a beeping alert sounded on his phone indicating he should enter the quarters with the proceedings already a-going on within... It was all a bit boring ... Libya this benghazi that... Yawnfest.... The qatari sultan decided to figure out with his (now silent) i-Phone (tm) if he had made a million dollars since walking into the room and seating himself at the gigantic boardroom.... Sudddenly there was a blinding flash and a bunch of smoke... The all-star cast or astoundingly wealthy sultans, kings and princes shielded themselves from the hubbub...some of them even climbing under the boardroom table... Then suddenly the colorful smoke materialized like a djinn from the koran... The djinn is a misunderstood koranic concept.... The djinn went from colorful smoke to the vivid form or a bedouin arab from a fargone era from uncountable moons ago....
'it is some infidel manipulation from the great satan! I will bring an army to squash this trouble...' said one bodyguard...
Another bodyguard unloaded his glock at the apparition... Not missing a shot... The bullets went through the djinn however... And shattered the windows behind it... Everybody was in shock
'it is i, mo'ammed,' said the djinn... Whose very manifestation was a sin against koranic law... But an unpunishable one as the glock pistol had proven...
The assembled rulers immediately prostrated themselves... Still they were unsure what it meant... Probably some sneaky trick from the infidel american great satan
'hear me... O arabaya' said the djinn in arabic, 'the most high Allah has decreed that in order to avoid any punishment or abuse in the afterlife, and a safer passage to Paradise, that u listen to this album 5 times a day... From start to finish...'
then the smoky djinn apparition tossed off a batch of smoke which materialized in mid air and landed with a definite clunky cacophoney on the boardroom table... It was various CDs with Crash Test Dummies 'god shuffled his feet'... Listen to every song on it, in any order you like, from start to finish... 5 times a day,' said the Djinn
'what about the hidden track 'endless nameless' on some versions of nirvana's epicurious classic Nevermind?' asked one rock-savvy (and xceedingly wealthy) prince
'unnecessary' responded the Djinn...
'should we learn the lyrics too?' asked one dumbfounded Saudi chieftain incredulously
'only if u wish to sing along,' was the answer...
'how about if we want to drum along?' asked another...
'it's all simple 4/4 timing... No syncopation... Child.s play...' came the answer....
'what about track 12...its just token piano playing nonsense... Not even a real song...' asked someone from brunei looking at his i-phone
'the entire album,' said the Djinn...
'but why!? Why listen to music from the Great Satan!?' asked a prince from the UAE emphatically and sincerely and with a tone of great outrage and disbelief...
'it's Canadian...' the Djinn answered and dissappeared like smoke through the broken window.
