ON this date in 1873 - A Hippodrome was opened in New York City by showman Phineus T. (P.T.) Barnum...

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were part of the act masquerading as clowns (You suspected another role?).

Actually, they tried out for the lion tamer job, but they couldn't get the knack of training the pussy ...................................................... cat.

@JolieSaboteuse Thanks Elle

ON this date in 1955 - "Day-O" was recorded by Harry Belafonte.

After working on the song w/ Bun Man and Mr. Purple, the line 'Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana' and the refrain (Daylight come and me wan' go home) came from the Boyz...

but Bun exclusively said 'Day, me say day O (Daylight come and me wan' go home) Day, me say day, me say day, Me say day, me say day, me say day'...

That hook ended up in Beetlejuice, say that name 3 times in a row this October and see what happens.

At Bun's committee hearing, he told Sen. Joe McCarthy to 'shove it' and then he walked...

Fitting defiance for the Un-American witch-hunting of the House Un-American Activities Committee.

ON this date in 1947 - Hollywood came under scrutiny as the House Un-American Activities Committee opened hearings into alleged Communist influence within the motion picture industry.

Famed producers Bun Man and Mr. Purple immediately came under intense scrutiny as the Boyz were famous for providing socially conscious films such as "Beat Me Daddy 8 to the Bar" and "Citizen Rage".

Mr. Purple, ever the quick witted, replied "Yes, the people tried to warn both major parties this year about their candidates and what did that get us?"

Bun Man closed saying "Warnings never work, only enforceable regulations work..."

And that is a stretch if we're talking major businesses...

2/2

ON this date in 1993 - Attorney General Janet Reno warned the TV industry to limit the violence in their programs.

Remembering this, Bun Man gave some history to Mr. Purple, "P, like most warnings, they go unheeded; voluntary actions to limit capitalism's profits never work, only money works."

PSA

TRYING THIS ON A WIDER AND MUCH MORE DIVERSE MUSICAL CROWD

HAVE A REQUEST...

Putting a Playlist together with songs that have a female background singer who during the song just kinda steals it, like Merry Clayton on the Stones ' Gimme Shelter or Ellen Foley on Meatloaf ' Paradise by the Dashboard Light...

So go ahead, put comments below for songs you think should be included...

BRING IT!!

If that SOB gets back in there...

Amen, going to do a bike ride today, and then I'm considering whether I want to scare the Golf Course about a hostile work environs complaint.

@CinnamonGirlE they're reading way too much into this shite.

@CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider

I haven't gotten so good at the beginning F sound, the rest just rolls right out.

I didn't get out of bed until after 6 this morning.

If I hadn't experienced Friday, I would have been at work by then.
