...like it (he may be right about this). So he has imported Doll Tearsheet from 2 Henry IV and interpolated a low-life scene from that play. And just before the end of the show, after the climactic Battle of Shrewsbury, Coe brings on Falstaff to declaim his long paean to the wonders of sherry sack--which also comes from the later play--and thus mars Shakespeare's carefully wrought conclusion. There are, too, some lines that have been moved from their proper place...
Many of you may want to avert your eyes during my final paean. Not only will it be treacle, but it's to an institution-The Harvard Crimson-the meant everything to me, and Doonesbury to you. I came to Harvard because of The Crimson, when they told me freshmen couldn't start coming until the semester was two weeks old, I was miserably. For The Crimson have travailed to 14 states and the Cambridge City Council chambers, which makes no sense on one level (who cares what Harvard's daily has to say about U.S. foreign policy...
...called in the city 'advancement.'...

King's old girlfriend a Chicago chorus girl with a Brooklyn accent. Singing a paean to the Windy City. Norma struts her stuff and the camera zooms in close enough to count hairs. Slapstick routines, the inevitable waiter with a large cream pie, also form a backdrop for the main action. A few yuks fall flat but most of the jokes sustain a low chuckle coming from the audience...
...when the little boy grows up (as the album title declares), we have to deal with new confidence. Grown-up Jeffreys mindlessly runs through R.O.C.K., his paean to his draft which sounded so heartfelt on last year's Escape Artist; the new version is like hearing 101 strings playing the Who's "My Generation." And "96 Tears" does not belong on another Garland Jeffreys album. He's been in the business for a decade, proclaims his allegiance to Frankie Lymon, so why doesn't he play something else to show...
