(Wolfman drops by Ice and Mav's house) Iceman: Hey! Wolfman: Hey, guys. Are you free tomorrow night? I was thinking of having a wine tasting-slash-"help me catch the rat in my apartment" party. Maverick: That's a great idea. You can put out cheese for both.

“I idolized Ruth Brown. I wanted to be Ruth Brown”. Little Richard
Died on this day: fabulous 1950s rhythm and blues diva Ruth Brown (12 January 1928 – 17 November 2006). I was privileged to see “Miss Rhythm” perform several times over the years at Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly weekenders. She was like a regal, soulful earth mother. Even in failing health, Brown rocked the house like a pro and boy did she know how to milk a crowd. “The doctors told me I’d never walk again,” she’d declare. “And here I am!” Which always elicited an eruption of applause! For John Waters fans, Brown will always be Motormouth Maybelle in the definitive 1988 version of Hairspray. As Brown told NPR in 1997, she almost declined the part. “I had said, well, I'm not going to do this film, especially when they took me to wardrobe and brought that white wig out. I said, not on your life … (But Divine stepped in.) I called him the divine Divine. He came to me, and he said, “Girl, put that wig on your head and make some money.” And I said to him, “No, I'm going to lose every fan I've got in the world if I come out with this white wig.” And Divine said, “Well, I tell you what. For every one you lose, I'm going to bring you two.” And every time I see that film - and it runs continuously, and I've gone into grocery stores and see young people following me around - my ego says, “Oh, they know who I am, Ruth Brown,” that kind of thing. And then they will eventually say, “Aren't you Motormouth Maybelle?'” That was my role and continues to be my claim to fame, you know. That cult film has really been wonderful. I go to the mailbox quite often now and find a little cheque with John Waters - God bless him - on it. And he writes to me and sends me crazy Christmas cards and things till this day.” My favourite song of Brown’s will always be “Teardrops from My Eyes."

Richie: Max, come pay for the pizza.
Max: Uh... no
Richie: Huh?
Max: I don't think I should have to pay... because...
Max: I'm not a fan of pizza.
[ Everyone gasps. ]
Steph: Max, I've literally seen you go to Clivesdale for pizza.
Richie: I once caught you eating pizza in the locker room! In the shower!
Pizza Delivery Guy: Max, there's a picture of you on our coupons.
Pete: I'm not saying Max's a guy who likes pizza but last time he went to the doctor, the doctor said "Max, you've gotta stop eating so much pizza." Max says "why?" Doctor says "so I can examine you."
Pete: But seriously we kid because we love.

A mother who loves her child with all her self is only so far from the hatchet anyway; one casual swing and it’s done. Hatred, love, all muddled up in the space inside a whisper, when the words don’t matter anymore, when the baby’s half asleep and you can carry it all the way there if you want, on nothing but the tone of your voice. When the bough breaks the cradle will fall. Sing it as softly as you like—the words clench their own teeth. The child still falls.

Tonight’s anecdote from the knitting circle:
When one of the ladies, Ruth, was a girl, mid-Michigan had a really bad tornado season. One day a raven turned up on her family's back porch and, as a joke, her mother opened the door and said, “Well, Jimmy, are you coming in or what?”
And the raven came inside.
He proceeded to make himself at home. He had a favorite perch on one of the armchairs and would clean his claws on the fabric. They fed him outside in an old enclosed dog kennel. He was evidently well-mannered and didn't disrupt the household at all. He simply strutted around like he owned the place and that was that.
Near as they could guess, the storms had disoriented him and he'd made himself welcome at the first friendly house he found.
But word eventually got around about the family who'd been adopted by a raven. A few months later, while Ruth and Jimmy were chilling outside, a car pulled up in front of the house. A man opened the door and called, "Hey, Pete! Come on, let's go home!"
Jimmy (or Pete) hopped on into the car and it drove away.

Billy James: Necessity Is ... The Early Years of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention (2001)
There have been countless books written about musical iconoclast Frank Zappa and I've read (almost too) many of them, but Billy James' Necessity Is … is the only one focused specifically on his original group, The Mothers of Invention.
Thus named because The Motherf***kers wasn't passing muster with record label A&R reps (and, as we know "necessity is the mother of invention"), the ever-expanding freaks who backed Zappa between 1964 and 1970 were, unlike most of his future groups, a lot more than sidekicks.
Rather, they were true Freak accomplices, who quickly evolved from basic rock and R&B combo to a free-form proposition able to play and improvise jazz, soul, doo wop, psychedelia, classical, and avant-garde music at their taskmaster conductor's beck and call.
At the same time, the band's irreverent approach to it all and Frank’s brutally cynical intellect were so innovative and unprecedented that their musical and personal antics influenced countless future bands and contemporaries -- even The Beatles, whose Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The Mothers parodied, in turn, with We're Only in it for the Money, pictured above.
So, if names like Ray Collins, Roy Estrada, Jimmy Carl Black, Don Preston, Bunk and Buzz Gardner, Billy Mundi, Art Tripp, Euclid James 'Motorhead' (no umlauts) Sherwood, Ian and Ruth Underwood, Flo and Eddie, elicit your fond affection, this book is for you.
James interviews many of them, finally giving them a chance to tell their stories, their perspectives, and to reminisce about each album, each wild adventure, each other, and, of course, their brilliant and (now and then) beneficent dictator, Frank Zappa.
Featured Record:
The Mothers of Invention: We’re Only in it for the Money (1968)
