Good evening New Orleans! This is “Mercury” for Rhatz! News, news, news, well, the sun is setting, the moon is rising and hasn’t it been an eventful few days?
Yesterday marked the funeral for beloved musician Peter Allaway. He was well-loved in his community and known for his eccentric but popular tunes. In fact, one of his more popular songs, Sun’s Warmth, has rocketed to the top of the charts once more! The funerary procession headed through the city with music and love. We managed to chat to one of Peter’s old band-mates, here’s what they said...
“Peter was a good guy. Yeah he’d drive you crazy, but he was honest, truthful. The world’s not going to be the same without him.”
In other news, we reported earlier in the week that the police were called to a party over an alleged assault. We now have it officially that an officer was already present at the scene, and that the situation was merely a disagreement, no charges will be pressed. Little spats often appear so much worse when people have swapped out their arms for biomech! Aren’t we lucky to live in such a safe city!
Our other headlines tonight include scandal in the financial world! There’s rumours of insider trading, causing stock market prices in agritech firm Xorn-u-copia to drop earlier this week. But, after an internal investigation, no fault has been found and the stock market prices have now recovered. You know what they say, always buy when the price is low! Our business correspondent will have a full update on that later tonight at ten.
Now, let’s finish off this update with a light note. We have it direct from the people that the most popular place to be right now is Vamp! The club is favoured amongst the freshest and youngest generation for its secret-speak entrance and exclusive clientele. If you know, you know, and if you don’t well you’re clearly just not hip enough.
That’s all our of top-line stories for tonight, remember folks that no matter what they say – New Orleans is the city of dreams.
