Cheers, pal!

I'm pretty sure we did start the fire.
At any rate, some perfectly charming firemen punished us for it, I seem to recall.

Nina Simone! I posted about that night here. You can search and come up with the story below. I'll have to be careful now. Redinald is fond of correcting my memory...
===
I did once go to see Nina Simone do a free concert in the depths of Brooklyn at a baseball field back in the mid 80s. It hadn't been publicized very much, so the audience was mostly residents of the neighborhood, with only a few Manhattanites in the crowd. But it was packed, shoulder to shoulder, on a hot July night.
I will never forget the hushed response to Simone's slow angry rendition of Pirate Jenny. The audience had probably never heard of Brecht and Weill or Lotte Lenya or The Threepenny Opera. They just heard Nina singing about a girl who was "scrubbing the floors" and dreaming about killing all the "gentlemen" in the town, deciding whether to "kill them now or later," then leaving on the black freighter, looking nice with a ribbon in her hair.
It was chilling--and the most Brechtian rendition of that song I could imagine.

Pal Joey's memory of Nina Simone is accurate to the last detail.

Dinner with Lorna Luft and Don Rickles was at Elaine's, of all places, decades after it was chic or hip.
Lorna sighed and said, "Just like old times. We used to come here and hang out after Studio 54..."
To which Don Rickles replied, "Just like old time, yeah. I passed your sistuh on the way in, slumped against a fire hydrant."
