...Road. Born Woodrow Charles Herman on May 16. 1913, in Milwaukee, Woody was only six when his show-business father began pushing him onto home-town stages as a singer-dancer. By the age of 17, he had become a member of the Tom Gerun band. A few years later, he joined the old Isham Jones band, and when Jones dissolved the group in 1936, Woody reorganized it as "the Band That Plays the Blues."

"I want everything to be real," says Dino, "so that people can see what's really going down. When I look at TV, ain't nothing in there I've seen before. Like in all the pictures with black people, they got to be some white guy who's his best friend. It ain't always that way. And that show Julia-she's just...
...smart ideas." Then follow jokes about Montclair, paranoia, penis-envy. On one hand, it must be cunning to hear rats talk this way in an over-sized nursery. On the other, the lines exploit the old convention of laughing at the words "elephant," "banana," "belly dancer" and "Beverly Hills-men-tality...
