BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – MARIA CALLAS
June 5, 2016
Loon: Today’s guest brought to us by the Lords of the 4th Dimension for the 3 Question Interview was an opera singer of some renown, I am told. Welcome to Maria Callas. Tell me, Ms. Callas, what was Minnie Pearl really like off the stage?
Ghost of Callas (icily): I wouldn’t know.
Loon: I see. You didn’t mingle. Was Chet Atkins as nice a guy as he seemed to be?
Ghost of Callas (icily): I wouldn’t know.
Loon: Ah. Let me try something else. Did anybody ever joke around singing ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?’ to you?
Ghost of Callas fades until almost all of her has disappeared. Her eyes remain. They stare icily at the loon for a frozen moment before they, too, wink out and are gone.
Loon: I’ll take that as a ‘No’. (bows, leaves room)
