When the Boomers performed last Sunday I asked the audience who Carla Katz
was before we performed our epic saga “Union Job”. Frankly I was a bit
surprised that all I heard was a few forks clinking in the background. I
thought that everybody knew who Carla Katz was! Apparently not. FYI, Carla
was the president of Local 1034 of the Communications Workers of America and
also dated our beloved governor Corzine before he got elected. It is well
documented that he gave her gifts during their short relationship of up to 6
million dollars! That’s a hot date! She was guest hosting on NJ 101.5 Radio
with Dennis Malloy last Friday and they played the song for her. She said it
had a nice beat and liked the singers voice.
My wife absolutely hated this song and pretty much begged me not to include
it on the new Boomer record. After watching me perform the song live she
finally “got it” and told me so after the show. I am not anti union. I am
anti union corruption. I am not against union workers, teachers, hardworking
government employees or cops and firemen who put their lives on the line
everyday. I am anti government waste, union corruption and pay to play
politics. I’m a Boomer and really care about what is going on in our state.
Ever feel like pulling your hair out when you hear about all the wacky
things going on in NJ politics? I do. That’s why I write these silly
satirical songs. It’s the only way I can keep my sanity.
I’d really like to know your opinion. I have put a free down loadable MP3 of
“Union Job” on the tunes page. http://seetheboomers.com/tunes/
Give it a listen and let me know what you think. It’s Free!
