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:

“…the only really nice furnishing we own is an Oriental rug that we bought, with the help of a decorator, in a failed attempt to become tasteful. This rug is way too nice for an onion-dip-intensive household like ours, and we seriously thought about keeping it in a large safe-deposit box, but we finally decided, in a moment of abandon, to put it on the floor. We then conducted a comprehensive rug-behavior training seminar for our main dog, Earnest, and our small auxiliary dog, Zippy. “NO!!” we told them approximately 75 times while looking very stern and pointing at the rug. This proven training technique caused them to slink around the way dogs do when they feel tremendously guilty but have no idea why. Satisfied, we went out to dinner. I later figured out, using an electronic calculator, that this rug covers approximately 2 percent of the total square footage of our house, which means that if you (not you PERSONALLY) were to have a random diarrhea attack in our home, the odds are approximately 49 to 1 against your having it on our Oriental rug. The odds against your having FOUR random attacks on this rug are more than FIVE MILLION TO ONE. So we had to conclude that it was done on purpose. The rug appeared to have been visited by a group of specially bred, highly trained Doberman Poopers, but we determined, by interrogating both dogs, that the entire massive output was the work of Zippy…”
