| Description | WASHINGTON - Forget all those inaugural concerts. The most pressing musical issue in the nation’s capital is whether a stone-face senator from Oklahoma will hit the high notes in “Rocket Man” to pay off a college football bet.
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn is slated to serenade Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida with his very own rendition of Elton John’s 1970s classic Wednesday afternoon.
Coburn owes Nelson because the Florida Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14 in last week’s BCS title game. Nelson chose “Rocket Man” because he is a former astronaut who flew on the space shuttle Columbia in the 1980s. |
