Tubby the Tuba was the album, I think -- or was that my brother's?

The first album I remember buying was the soundtrack to The Wiz (broadway, NOT THAT HORRIBLE MOVIE) and the first word on that one IIRC is Put; 1/17/10, 8:45 AM

"I have called the executioners; I want to perish chewing on their gun butts."

That's my favorite Rimbaud, in any case.; 1/17/10, 8:49 AM
Chef Mojo said...: Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine.

Man, I love that song.

And there's nothing the statement that Althouse quoted that can be disputed. Jesus, whether you believe in him or not, is an entity to be reckoned with.; 1/17/10, 10:16 AM

The Crack Emcee said...: I can't remember what the first word on the first record I ever made was - I've got about 30 now - but the first album I ever bought on my own was "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell" which should tell you something.

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat, refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged
YOU-Can-Go-To-HELL!!!

Awesome. And for the record, I never wrestled with the Jesus thing - Christianity, yes - but not Jesus. Except for the part about him chasing the moneychangers out of the temple, he just didn't have much appeal.; 1/17/10, 1:33 PM
