THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE SHOW
Where the voice of Edwin Torres marries itself as Eliza Galaher, Diane Spodarek and Xavier Cavazos gather around the love tree to watch the wedding mashup of Public Enemy and Al Hirt by The Evolution Control Committee while the bride walks down the sound, followed by Mochipet marrying Captain Beefheart to Captain and Tenille, as old Elvis C. marries his younger self, as the crowd weeps uncontrollably, as the happy couple kiss, as The Beach Boys marry The Surfers while marrying The Zombies as each one does Surfin' Safari, and then for the first time as a married couple John Cage has a dance with the air, and we all do the Macarena followed by The Last Dance presided over by Catherine Kidd married to a sea peach. Afterwhich we throw the bouquet at Sharon Mesmer and Edwin wondering, What is This Shit? The boundary-breaking "same-sex marriage" episode!
