YOU could be support act to Madonna when she appears in Liverpool in Capital of Culture year, 2008.Yes that's the glittering prize which awaits you in our new caption competition.
All you have to do is submit the best caption to the picture above.
It shows members of Status Quo before their concert last year at the Summer Pops in Liverpool.
They are 'fooling around' backstage like lovable rock 'n' roll stars with members of a a hip new Southport-based band called Abe.
Second from the left in the stripy polo shirt is Abe lead guitarist and vocalist, Liam Halsall, who also happens to be the son of Mr Phil Halsall, Executive Director with Liverpool city council.
MrHalsall, better known as 'The Smiling Assassin', was, at the time, the council official responsible for the Summer Pops, which has so far cost council taxpayers £2.1 million.
The costs soared because Sir David Henshaw, retired chief executive, failed to ensure that the Summer Pops was put out to tender, in accordance with the council's strict rules and regulations. For SIX years.
Instead The Smiling Assassin appears to have repeatedly given the Summer Pops to a company called CMP Entertainment, run by a Mr Chas 'show me the money' Cole.
That's probably enough information for you to come up with a cracking caption.
The winner will have a date with Madonna, when CMP bring her to Liverpool in 2008. The five runners up will all receive special collectors edition, 'I'm Tony Parrish' badges.
Off you go!

Sitting high on a honky-tonk stool
