Making Love To Mumia

The overwritten lead of the moment competition just keeps heating up recently. Today, Patty-Pat Kozlowski, occasional Daily News guest columnist, comes up with this lead for a column about Mumia Abu Jamal supporters:

THE BEST SONG to make love to is “I Only Have Eyes For You” by the Flamingos. Add some good red wine, candles not from the Dollar Store and those lyrics: “Are the stars out tonight? I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright. I only have eyes for you.”

The best song for a passion-lacking sweat-fest is a tie: “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meatloaf and “Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC. This makeout session usually occurs on a couch or in the back seat of a car, where the question, “Is that the seat belt or you?” can ruin the mood.

Both making love and making out are literally the same thing, in the end you get what you want - you just do it differently.

Same with protesting.

As you all know, there’s nothing classier than dollar store candles to make love to.

    I decided to write it “Lead” because I use them interchangeably and that’s how I happened to write it in the first one and I want to keep it consistent.

    Naturally, it’s anything but consistent in other parts of this blog, but it is in this case. I should start tagging the posts “Lead/Lede.”

    OK- I guess the journalist (10 years at your favorite community weekly) in me still has copy edit flashbacks-
    Thanks for the explanation.
