"There's only one
thing Wild Man hates more than Be-Bop," said Jess, the clarinetist.
"That's - now watch him have a fit - Rock 'n Roll!" He shouted the
words "Rock 'n Roll" into Wild Man's face and Wild Man immediately
reacted by banging his head on the table and issuing his cry. The musicians
laughed hysterically.
"That
is positively the worst!'' screamed Wild Man. "That noise drove me right
back to Europe! It's
a sickness, a real sickness! One of the boys
told me just before we left about playin' his first and last Rock 'n Roll gig.
Just before they went on he started to tune up and they said to him, 'Man, are
you out of your mind? What the hell you tunin' up for? What do you think you
are, a musician? We don't need no musicians here. We're playin' Rock 'n Roll!'
"
"There's
only one good thing about Rock 'n Roll," said Skinny Sam. "You can't
play Rock 'n Roll and be a junkie, 'cause the noise blows the lid right off of
your head!"
