mjammusic Missy M Santa Barbara Missy M is a play author and songwriter from Santa Barbara, CA. MJAM Music is with BMI. Her current work, "Tabloid", is in development. This dark musical satire looks at tabloid journalism in an offbeat way "All anyone talks about today is fake news. Tabloid is a musical comedy drawn from my observations and experiences with tabloid media. I was inspired to write about tabloid media after the Rupert Murdoch scandal. I wanted to tell a funny story from the point of view of the victims of junk journalism. Ever stand in line at the check out and see tabloid papers with outlandish headlines and later hear how they are being sued? It all started with just two songs that I wrote concerning the subject. One day it seemed the songs had a bigger story to tell. So it hit me, why not write a play and put the songs in it." There are songs with names like My Story, Ratings R Us, Donny’s Lament, Hope and Pride, Perry’s Poorhouse, Babel, Ball and Chain, What’s in a Word, Lower Slobovia. The music is a mix of style and it’s all pulled together by a thematic through line. Tabloid is pop culture, TV and social media in a satirical story about itself. mjammusic’s tracks Finale Tabloid by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T14:03:12Z Words by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T14:02:31Z Ratings R Us rough demo. duet by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T14:01:56Z Perry's Poorhouse by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T14:01:27Z Lower Slobovia by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T14:00:24Z Babel by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T13:59:45Z Hubert's Song by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T13:56:36Z You Did Me Wrong by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T13:55:17Z Mr. Perry by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T13:54:32Z Donny's Lament by mjammusic published on 2022-06-03T13:53:46Z
