1961

Herewith follows the original lyrics to Tommy "Bang-Bang" Mauro's latest song smash "The Inscrutable Prune":... anda one... anda two.... I've got peanut butter in my hair over you, darlin'. All my dreams are just a pile of tacos now. When you left I cried more than was good for me 'cuz you'd gone and my life was empty of lentil soup.

Mauro seems to be passing through some sort of phase. Perhaps he's been locked in the kitchen... maybe a grocery truck fell on him while he was playing with his guitar ... or maybe he just bought a few shares of A&P and wants to boost business. In any case it's a beooootiful song and all the teeny-boppers are humming it.

Besides the news about Mauro there is very little to report. You are all either inactive or incommunicado.
