Kevin Sings the News: 'Slow News Week'

Slow news weeks. Sometimes they happen. And now we have a song to sing when this reporting gig gets slow.

Patch troubadour Kevin Trudo took a look at Patch headlines over the past seven days and came to one inevitable conclusion: not a lot happened last week. But that’s OK, because he came up with this witty, bluesy number celebrating the journalistic dry spell.

The song references stories about downtown businesses in Plainfield petitioning to ; an alleged at a gas station in Woodridge; Montgomery cops catching a guy who ; the muddy in Channahon; and a strange tale of in Naperville.

If you’re new to Kevin Sings the News, here’s the lowdown: every Friday, local musician Kevin Trudo will write and sing a song about the news of the past week. Sometimes it’ll be funny, sometimes serious. For more info about Kevin, check out his Facebook page.

Lyrics, as always, are printed below.

Slow News Week

A slow news week
The same old crimes and maybe a human interest piece
 
Mailman got a new assignment
Which doesn't seem like much of a novelty
But when you got a reassigned did anyone to get you back where they thought you should be?
 
A slow news week
The same old crimes and maybe a human interest piece

All you gotta do to catch Houdini in Montgomery is
The warrior dash was a smash there's and in the end the organizers were much neater than you'd think that they are
 
A slow news week
The same old crimes and maybe a human interest piece
 
And then there's Naperville
A man got
And I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would ever criminally shred Tuxedo pants... but they did

It's a slow news week
The same old crimes and maybe a human interest piece
Slow news week
Except for , that got a little scary
Still it's a slow news week
The same old crimes and maybe a human interest piece
