"If you missed the February Album Writing Month showcase at the High Noon Saloon Sunday night, you missed a truly unique Madisonian music moment. Keyboardist Nancy Rost enlisted punk rocker Tim Budziszewski (of B.O.R.D. and Introversion) to help her out on a song she wrote about Marco Pogo. Anyone who has been to multiple shows in Madison has most likely witnessed Marco Pogo in action, bouncing at the front of the stage, not caring if everyone else is choosing to do the standing still. There is more passion for the music in his bounces then in both hips of any scenester.
The song was written incorporating three challenges of FAWM – must have a key change, must only use 30 words and must be about a superhero. Marco was the superhero of choice. As Rost and Tim blasted away at the song, one thing was missing – Marco Pogo. Then something magical happened – Art Paul Schlosser took it upon himself to fill the role. Imagine our State Street icon, famous for songs like “I Love My Mother,” “Pink Pants” and “Another Star Trek Sequel Blues,” pogoing to a song about Marco Pogo. It was a moment that could never be planned in advance. All the planets aligned just right.
