Kevin Sings the News: 'Brides'

Welcome back to another installment of Kevin Sings the News—the 30th, in fact. Every Friday, for more than six months, Patch troubadour Kevin Trudo has written and sung an original song for us based on the previous seven days of Patch headlines.

This week, it’s a fun ditty called “Brides,” because… well, you’ll see. The song blends together stories about a opening in Bolingbrook, a Romeoville student for stalking him, a in Channahon, a in Plattville, and a Woodridge school principal who when his students met their reading goal.

But wait, there’s more! We also have the story of Mark Buehrle’s exit from the White Sox (and Lemont), a Plainfield man accused of with a bat, a banquet hall in Lemont that closed and , Colin Farrell to talk about Angelman syndrome and his son, new apartments being built on an in Plainfield, and Montgomery’s longest-serving plan commissioner .

The lyrics for “Brides” have been reprinted below for your convenience. For more on Kevin Trudo, check out his Facebook page, and come back here next Friday for song number 31!

Brides

Did you see the picture from the ?
That's an awful lot of skin
Did you see the one where the guy is ?
Says that they were stalking him
Will in Channahon?

There's a in the history of the armory
Bonnie and Clyde may have had a part
And the Sipley principal’s a
He lost his hair but showed his heart
Mark Buehrle's going to Florida

You could read the comments on the ,
It's an informal ethics class
Then they closed the banquet hall and
I wouldn't mess with brides
Look, I know that doesn't rhyme, but I wouldn't mess with brides

Oswego Patch is

Colin Farrell to share a bit about his son

Where they in Plainfield
Their gonna put apartments up
Clarence Bark out in Montgomery
Maybe he knows
You should never mess with a bride
