"You call that crap music? I've heard Ashlee Simpson bark out better stuff on the wrong side of an acid reflux aspiration," the feisty redhead snapped. This after Lucille Ball was approached earlier today by reporters alleging Super Bowl halftime show personality, Prince, had "stolen her look".
They were of course referring to a particularly unflattering headwrap graced towel-like over the singer's head for most of last night's performance. In a well attended interview, Lucy, from her side of the Pearly Gates, fielded questions from reporters and other hopefuls yearning to catch a few one liners from the former comedy goddess. "Tell us Lucy," someone in the crowd yelled, "what was worse, his music or the headwrap?"
"What the hell was that all about? He looked like death warmed over. And believe me, I know what I'm talking about," she riposted, gesturing at a few of the newly arrived corpses behind her. The crowd chuckled as they sensed she was starting to warm up. "And that symbol that's supposed to stand for his name, how did Prince learn the international Purgatory symbol for anyone who listens to me will go directly to Hell? I guess we'll never know. Or maybe we will. Hey, any of you fellows got a cigarette?"
