En 1976 se estrenó en Estados Unidos un concurso de televisión llamado THE GONG SHOW. Fue el primer "talent-show" televisivo, con la misma estructura que todos esos horrorosos y dañinos concurso de karaoke actuales que generan cantamañanas clónicos y guapísimos de la muerte; pero, de hecho, el concepto era todo lo contrario: un "anti-talent-show", un programa de variedades mutante, políticamente incorrecto, una exhibición de atrocidades que pretendía ciscarse en la Cultura oficial y en toda la Industria Musical, y enfrentarse a lo establecido. Su creador y presentador fue el popular Chuck Barris, un señor bajito y de movimientos compulsivos que, además, tenía una cara oculta absolutamente alucinante, como descubriremos durante el programa. En esta Reunión de Majorettes escuchamos una minúscula selección de aquellas miles de actuaciones, pero sobre todo rendimos homenaje a Barris y sus secuaces, y nos unimos a esa enorme bofetada en la cara a la Música Comercial.
