...second album, "The White Sport Coat and the Pink Crustacean," is probably the pick of his litter. It has several of his best wry vignettes, and the rudest of the crude underground hits he'll be remembered by: I really do appreciate the fact you're sitting here Your voice sounds so wonderful But your face don't look so clear. So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round of brew. Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw...

Mexico's flamboyance--including tombs painted laundry blue, pink, and red, or churches topped with neon crosses--captivates her. She craves people and chases experience, repelled by the "crustacean" life of gradual withdrawal from the world as passing years reveal its threatening aspects. Her unembarrassed receptivity to the emotional and physical aspects of human beings is evoked in an impression of Sierra Madre...

...Crustacean Father. Brewster has always been enveloped by bright conversation. His mother held an A.B. from Wellesley and an M.A. from Radcliffe, his father an A.B. from Amherst and a law degree from Harvard. Both were Phi Beta Kappa freethinkers-and poles apart in their thinking, especially in politics. Father was what an acquaintance calls "a crustacean McKinley Republican," Mother "a Cambridge liberal Democrat." They were divorced when Kingman was six and his mother married a Harvard music professor, Pianist-Composer Edward Ballantine. Their Cambridge home, with its two grand pianos, was a setting...
