That’s fine. Anyway, hey! Today… is Tuesday. Got a music class tonight on account of going to concert Thursday night. That will haunt me all entry. GOT A THING TO DO TONIGHT. I only have Way More Than Enough Time Still! Anyway. I watched half of the High Fidelity TV Series reboot from That Year Of Years 2020. Could you call that a mini-series? It was only one season! Either way I like it. Is it kind of unrealistic a record store would exist in 2020? I dunno. Lemme LURQ how many record stores exist right now in America. My guess is 300! I might just be thinking of the movie 300 as I always am. Anyway The Internet says there’s 1,400-2,000! WOW. I could like records. I should become a record guy. That would take up too much time and money and spirit. I don’t have it in me to add that to my life right now. How was everyone’s 420. AM I RIGHT. YEA BOY. 42 0. Celebrate Jackie Robinson and Zero. What zero. The dog from Nightmare Before Christmas. The Smashing Pumpkins song. The number and/or concept Indians (South Asian) came up with. I dunno. I don’t wanna give too much credit to the Indians for Zero. I BET if I was alive before they came up with Zero I’D HAVE COME UP WITH ZERO. I’m a big zero so surely I’d thought of zero myself. Zero Mostel. That guy.
Mostel seems like a close anagram for molest and that must have haunted Zero Mostel his entire life. Anyway the latest new songs I have for School Of Rock are probably the last songs for this season before our show in six weeks or so but I had a nightmare we had like two more rounds of new songs to learn left. HORRIFYING. Wait what’s the name of the guy who played the principal in Billy Madison. YEAH! Josh Mostel. SON of Zero Mostel. NEPO BABY. Never put two and two together before. Every now and then I realize NEPO is OPEN backwards. It happens pretty often because we are BOMBARDED by the wordOpen in our every day life! SO me being me I naturally want to come up with some sort of palindrome there. Hmm. We’ll see! I’ll come around to it at some point. Anyway. In a way we are all Nepo Babies because we descend from The True Best, Adam and Eve. Or Noah and Whomever if you prefer that. Who the Hell was Noah’s Wife. Internet says there’s a controversy around this! She’s not named in the Bible but one possible answer is EMZARA. Another is NAAMAH. Look we all descend from this lady. Get your story straight. I wanna know one of my greatest grandmother’s name! Anyway. What if I don’t believe in Judeo-Christian Bible. Well we’re still Nepo Babies anyway. You got a leg up from some sort of other animal. If a horse applies to a job you got an advantage over them from being Same Species as The Hiring Person. Unless the job is pulling a carriage. Then we’ll see.
Anyway. We’re a third into spring. Spring FORWARD. Fall BEHIND. Summer BUMMER. Winter SPLINTER. Huh. Spring and Fall didn’t rhyme why did Summer and Winter have to. I’M TRYING TO IMPROVE ON THE FORMULA. Anyway. Sroods Nepo Baby Bab Opens Doors? WHO OR WHAT IS SROODS? Anyway. I coulda been a Nepo Baby. My dad was an Assistant Principal in a high school. If I wanted to go into teaching as I almost did, his connections could have HELPED me! He was very well respected! I chose to go in a different direction. Live at home and write and play Guitar Sometimes. We’ll see if it pays off in the long run. OH NO I’m sitting here with my guitar and I just forgot how to play one of the older SOR songs from January because one of the new songs has a similar riff that has now DISPLACED the older one. That’s easy enough to fix. LOOK UP THE OLDER ONE ONCE MORE. Oh ok good thanks. If I were Zero Mostel I woulda named my sonZero Minus One or something. Like the Godzilla movie. What was that called? Godzilla Minus Zero? I never saw it. I tried watching it but it was boring for a Godzilla movie. Possibly because I wasn’t paying attention. They should make some sort of app technology that syncs your phone and your TV so that it trains you to watch your TV better. So when you’re watching TV and you idly look at your phone GUESS WHAT YOU’RE JUST WATCHING WHAT’S ON YOUR TV AGAIN. Jokes on you!
Anyway. Great. I had the Fiddler On The Roof soundtrack for my old Cheap-For-Kids Record Player. For a play calledFiddler On The Roof not a lot of songs that are just Fiddles and I’m confident NONE were recorded on rooftop! Have I made this joke before—Fiddler On The Roof sounds like a horror movie. Goodnight son. Be good and quiet or the Fiddler On The Roof will get ya. Sounds like a joke I’ve made five times before. Wait a second. I assumed he was a Musician Fiddler. Maybe he’s just FIDDLIGN AROUND on the roof. Just working around with things on the roof. Like being a handyman or something. Working on the gutters. HMM. Either way that was an ok musical. I remember watching the film version as a kid thinkingI’m a little Jewish and this is really Jewish. Huh. Interesting. But I guess the premise of the play/film is that Even THIS Is A Compromise On How Jewish You Can Get! Great. Anyway. Actually I dunno if I ever thoughtI’m a little Jewish as a response to anything as a kid. I wouldn’t have thought that! I might have FELT it somewhat. But I wouldn’t have thought that. I’d have consciously thought of myself as Just Secular And Atheist. So that’s good. Not a good time to be Jewish these days in the world today! Not a good time to be anybody! SO IT’S A GOOD TIME TO BE A NOBODY? Hmm. That could work out for me!
Anyway. I guess I’ll skip the Michael Jackson movie. But on the other hand after writing that sentence I have a burst of On The Second Handness that makes me feel maybe I should see it. I’d Hear Good Music In Surround Sound. That ain’t nothing! IT’S ALSO NOT A LOT. Hmm. Apparently the person playing Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson’s nephew. PHEW. There’s some nepotism. But people like that kind of nepotism. HEY IT’S YOU. YOU’RE LIKE THAT DEAD GUY. YOU’RE AS CLOSE TO THE DEAD GUY AS WE CAN GET. PHEW. That’s something people get a kick out of. His name is Jaafar Jackson. Named after the bad guy in Alladin? Possibly! Not necessarily but we also can’t say definitely not either. Whatever. Alladin is a good musical too, like Fiddler. But they never madeFiddler On The Roof into a Sega Genesis game as far as I know! If they did make it a video game I assume it’d be a Guitar Hero thing but You’re Fiddling On A Roof. Michael you said you saw the play. THERE IS NO FIDDLING ON ROOFS. Oh okay thanks. Jermaine Jackson presumably wanted to continue the tradition of keeping his kid a J.J. like himself. I guess Jafaar was the first, “J,” that came to mind! How come he never thought of James. SORRY DOESN’T RING A BELL. What about Jack. NEVER HEARD OF IT. Jason. HUH? Anyway. That’s all for now. See ya later!
