Dear Readers, Hope you enjoyed this piece.

Just as a fun side game, see if you can spot the FOUR deliberate 'mistakes' that I inserted into the text, four pieces of factual info that are just plain wrong.

And the Palme d'Or goes to...[drum roll] Murph!

That was a fantastic story, man. With references from B.B. to Frank Zappa, what's not to love? Oh, and the ending. Bruh.

Thanks so much, I'm really pleased that you liked it Bradley.

It's funny, I took the Suzy Creamcheese from a super-obscure 60s garage band called Daddy and His Patches. Never even knew about Frank Zappa using that name.

It might be a fun game to play to tag all the many film and pop-rock references I stashed in the story as easter eggs.
