As we've learned from Mafia flicks, you can take out the top dog but pups always grow up. Sadly, this is also true in politics - national or corporate - and while one bad apple rots on top, those below it will be soiled as well. With that in mind, we should all be careful when bobbing and remember that it's not always cream that rises; what we think we flushed away can always come back if the plumbing is not quite right.
Salome got a bum rap for asking for the head of John The Baptist, became the runner-up spokeschick for the evils of seduction - should Eve be unable to fulfill her duties - when really, she was just a victim of politics. A foolish child, enchanted with her brief moment of power, she allowed another's whims to soil her destiny with no chance of a comeback via a stint on "Dancing With The Stars".
Still, she got great press over the years and The Old 97's served her legend well with a beautiful ballad of regret and loss, bending alt country back just enough to expose The Replacements among its roots. The band never got the success many felt they deserved but their cult remains devoted. Salome, on the other hand, got what she wanted in the form that she deserved, and you can probably catch her on some expose of child stars exploited by their parents.
Watch your head.
