...Great American Past-time, the game of Base-ball. This so-called “Branch” Rickey and his artful Dodgers have turned the sporting world upside-down with the inclusion of Jack Robinson in regulation base-ball. It is an outrage! A black man playing amongst his betters—and this Robinson has no respect! I am told that Robinson led base-ball in the dubious categories of “steals” last season—and yet he is allowed to continue playing despite this chronic kleptomania. I am also told, though...
Pappin’s comments go directly to the heart of who should compose our community. Who will be left out of Pappin’s university?

From the turbaned saxophonist Skerik and dreadlocked guitarist eenor, to the headbanging, caveman-muscled percussionist Mike Dillon (who needed no costume to appear right at home amongst the Frogs), outrageous excess is the name of the game. “I’m scared…this could be sodomy by saxophone…,” warned Claypool announcing a solo by Skerik and a sax-playing buddy who appeared for the song before vanishing back into the audience. A percussion solo between the kit and caveman, one of the centerpieces of the set, lasted a good...
