** James Brown conducts the double-wedding ceremony for Elvis[=/=]Madonna and Sinatra[=/=]Sinéad. Sinatra says that he has some friends in the construction business who have been hired to rebuild the StatueOfLiberty (see below under TakeThat), and they are cutting Sinatra and co. a "sweet check for the opportunity," with Madonna pointing out how that's enough to buy up 100% of Time-Warner-Sony, now that they're just about bankrupt. Elvis talks about how he had been waiting for the right time to return to the world and had never really considered the responsibility he had. Madonna says that they've stuck with him this long, and they aren't going to let him down now.
-->'''ELVIS PRESLEY''': "Madonna, I just can't help falling in love with you. The airwaves are free. We are going back to work."

Because so many quality musicians have disappeared, the recording industry, which has become a conglomerate called Time-Warner-Sony, has largely collapsed.
