Music and Culture 15 May 2012 The Untold Story of Little Red Riding Hood Setting: China Town, Midnight (rainy) One rainy night in China Town The pothead POT (Peter Olishuwan Timothy) is singing in the rain [Singing in the Rain]. RED (Relonda Edith Desmond) walks up and asks him how he feels. They proceed to continue to have a conversation about the weather and loopines. Red explains that she is delivering a package of Yum Yum Master Ling Noodles to her great grandmother. POT insists that she gives him some of the noodles because hes been singing in the rain all night. Red says no and starts to walk away. POT says its because hes a white Asian and he shows her that he is not racist by offering her black coffee. Red refuses the coffee and Pot says that she only drinks racist coffee [Racist Coffee]. She exits, leaving in the swift way away from the horrors of the one that not only had frightened her but also threatened her. Not in a way that a bear threatens a honey bee but in the manner that a girl is threatened by an obvious pothead who is accusing her of being racist, which in fact was precisely what she, was experiencing (coincidence? I think not!). Pot is left standing in a cold wet alley of China Town, alone. Pot then proceeded to look upon the heavens and witness a single star in the sky (it was in-fact a helicopter, but alas I digress) and wished with all his deluded heart that he did not scare the young lady with his pot-headed antics. [When You Wish Upon a Star]. When Pot awakens he finds that Red is gone and he is heartbroken. Presently an older Chinese man came out of his shop and started sweeping the wet sidewalk and singing what a wonderful world. [What a Wonderful World {during the next part}] Unable to handle the agony of being alone in the cold hard streets of China Town, he disposes his pot in the nearest illegal trash fire, and sulked to the tallest tower in the city. After shuffling down the streets and skulking past the security and squeezing into a claustrophobic elevator (that stalled halfway) he emerged at the top of the building. The rain was beginning to taper off and the clouds were starting to scatter. Peter stood on the ledge with his arms stretched out with the wind and rain about him, the city lights winked at him in taunting shades of neon. Unable to take the repulsive sight Peter screamed until his lungs were beyond the ability to produce breath, he tensed his legs, and opened his eyes to face the city one last time. Now at this point one may think that the story continues as and then he threw himself off the building and presently broke his neck and no one cared, but in fact it progressed much differently. With that glance he saw through tear streaked eyes the first rays of the sun. These rays caught the fluttering rain droplets at just the right angle and produced a magnificent rainbow. At this moment time seemed to freeze; the rain lazily

floated to the ground, the wind became a slight push. The world seemed to be split into two parts, the city and the sky contrasting each other in some heavenly coincidence, and by some supernatural or divine act Peter beheld Red right over where the rainbow had formed. Spontaneously Peter started to sing a familiar song. [Somewhere Over the Rainbow]. Realizing now that he had been changed and that he could show that to Red; that he was different and no longer just an ordinary pothead in an alley in china town, he headed off to find her. Upon finding her at her great grandmothers house he approached her. At first Red was alarmed and started shouting something about a lumberjack and a wolf but after Peter calmed her down she listened to his pathetic pleas for forgiveness and after assuring him that she knew he was sorry she helped him up. Then they walked off into the smoggy sunrise into a new beginning (while Red told Peter all about her crazy adventures). [Lifes a Happy Song]
