Miles Davis was amazing, at least until 25:37 when he suddenly becomes Smiles Davis.

Saturday Matinee – Boop, Bongos, Bass & Bob, Gatemouth Brown and RIP Roy Clark
In 1932, Franklin Roosevelt ran against incumbent President Herbert Hoover for the presidency, hence the caricatures, and there are hints about the repeal of Prohibition in this cartoon. Hoover first shows up at 0:45. “Mr. Nobody” (1:12) probably refers to the other six candidates, including 3rd runner-up Socialist Party candidate Norman Thomas. Roosevelt’s nose and chin appear at 2:12.
The depiction of Congress at 2:28 is relevant today (as is Betty Boop twerking, promising everything for free). [Video found via here.]
Yep. That’s Penn Gillette (of Penn & Teller) on bass ca 1991. I first saw it in a movie theater as part of “Animation Celebration” or something, but I couldn’t find a link.
Clarence Gatemouth Brown (1924-2005) didn’t use a pick, and his calluses were tougher than woodpecker lips. Here’s his take on Bill Doggett‘s classic 1956 hit “Honky Tonk.” Brown was a speed blues artist as well. (If you doubt me, check out “Pressure Cooker.“)
RIP Roy Clark (1922-2018) What a great musical talent.
See you back here tomorrow for more extraneous arbitrary extrapolations.

True Story:
Grampa told me of a gaffe he and his brothers used in church. It’s called “The Angel Speaks.”
Get a thick wire coathanger, cut a 4-inch section. Bend it into a “U” shape, then bend the ends 180 degrees down. Get two small rubber bands and loop each one through a metal washer, hook the bands onto each side of the “U”. The gaffe is ready.
Wind up the washer tight, hold it in place, then sit on it, preferably on a wooden pew. When the time is right, lean over, raise a cheek. The washer is released with a loud “BRRRAAAAP!”
Depending on the design, preparation and control, you may be able to get up to 3 farts out of it.
Oh, and always look at the kid next to you in complete disgust each time you rip one. This works on steel folding chairs, too, but the noise sounds like a jackhammer.

Saturday Matinee – Stop-Motion Pumpkin Carving, Dangerous Dinner, The Growlers & Bite The Buffalo
Stop-motion pumpkin carving is awesome. Many gourds sacrificed their lives [via].
“If you steal the kill, and nobody is hurt, that’s when you can relax.”
Hunting without killing is ballsy as all get out. Psych out the predators and steal their stuff before they figure out what’s going on and they kill you [via].
The Growlers is an excellent name for an excellent semi-retro band. I love ’em.
Bite The Buffalo is an excellent name for an excellent semi-retro band. I love ’em.
Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll do something different tomorrow. Or not.
