R Crumb, hokum and bluenoses

[Ted Samsel]

  Robert Crumb is also a musician and plays music that TRP probably
enjoys. It's older stuff and he does some songs (when he does play with The 
Cheap Suit Serenaders) of a genre that will send the Crusaders Against Filth
into a pure-dee tizzy and hissy-fit. A-a-nd it's called "hokum". 
These were recorded on 78's in the 20's through the 50's... way before
Tipper did the tag-team bit with Frank Zappa over "lyrics"...
  Hokum was more than suggestive: here are some titles...

But none of you have ever seen DOUG CLARK AND THE HOT NUTS.. or have you?

ObMonkees: The Kingston Trio-clone group I was in  in the mid 60's lost
a talent show to a lone singer song writer... who turned out to be Mike
Nesmith, scion of the Liquid Paper fortune and later a MONKEE!
