The Monday Morning Memo

In his 1974 autobiography, Clive Davis, then president of Columbia Records, described his initial impression of David Clayton-Thomas singing at the Café Au Go-Go: “He was staggering… a powerfully built singer who exuded an enormous earthy confidence. He jumped right out at you. I went with a small group of people, and we were electrified. He seemed so genuine, so in command of the lyric… a perfect combination of fire and emotion to go with the band’s somewhat cerebral appeal. I knew he would be a strong, strong figure.”
– WIKIPEDIA

Lucretia MacEvil, I wanna know what’s your game?
Hard luck and trouble
Bound to be your claim to fame
Tail-shakin’ home-breakin’ truckin’ through town
Each and every country-mother’s son, hangin’ ’round
Drive a young man insane.
Evil, that’s your name.

Lucretia MacEvil
I bet you think you’re doin’ fine.
Back seat Delilah
Got your six-bit jug o’wine.
I hear your momma was the talk of the sticks
Nothin’ that your daddy wouldn’t do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
Evil woman-child.
 
Devil got you Lucy
Under lock and key
Ain’t about to set you free
Signed sealed and witnessed
On the day you were born
No use tryin’ to fake him out
No use tryin’ to make him out
Soon, he’ll be takin’ out his due
What-you goin’ to do?

Lucy MacEvil
Honey where ya been all night?
Your hair’s all messed up, babe
An’ the clothes you’re wearin’
Just don’t fit ya right.
Big Daddy Joe is payin’ your monthly rent
Tells his wife he can’t imagine where the money went
Dressin’ you up in style, evil woman-child.
 
Lucy, you just so damn bad

Random Quote:

“Not only have we never seen a house like that, we’ve never seen the kinds of things that belong in a house like that. Poor Mommy. Maeve shook her head at the thought. She was terrified, like he was going to shove her into a roomful of tigers. She was saying, ‘Cyril, this is someone’s house. We can’t go in there.’

This was how it had gone for the Conroys: one generation got shoved in the door and the next generation got shoved out. ‘What about you?’

She thought about it. ‘I was a kid, so I was interested. I was upset for Mommy because she was so clearly petrified, but I also understood that this was our house and we were going to live here. Five-year-olds have no comprehension of real estate, it’s all about fairy tales, and in the fairy tale you get the castle. I felt bad for dad if you want to know the truth. Nothing he was trying to do was going right. I might have even felt worse for him than I did for her.’ She filled her lungs with soft gray smoke and then sent it out to the soft gray sky.”

- Ann Pratchett, The Dutch House, p. 174-175
