scam clear mellotron, e-bay

2005-07-25 by George Summers

Scam clear mellotron on e-bay. Now it's located in the U.K.. That 
American guy who recieved this clear mellotron for his labor must have 
retired in England, as all us Yanks plan to.
BUT, I'm still going to bid on THIS one BECAUSE its' original owner was 
Mao Tse-tung, the Chinese politician. The back-story is that the 
mellotron did not work very well and so Chairman Mao forever 
banned "mellotron" from China. The reason Mao got it in the first place 
is that Lennon, who was Mao's idol, mentioned "Chairman Mao" in his 
writings and Mao knew Lennon had a mellotron. Marx also had a 
mellotron, I know this for a fact, because his brother played the harp, 
so they they started the E-Strasse Band with friend Fred E-ngels.
NOTE, don't fall for the clear mellotron scam! AND NOTE that I made-up 
the Mao story...it's not true...don't go on about it like some folks 
did when I wrote the Uria Heep "back-story" a while ago.
