D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Mad Merry Christmas!
It’s Christmas Eve and you’d think that we’d be doing a special, annual Christmas-themed blog. But this is the Digital Age, folks! Time means nothing. If this were a TV station we’d be showing “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” (by my old pal Tony Peters) for the umpteenth time. If this were a radio station we’d be playing “Have A Holly Jolly Christmas” every hour. On the Internet, however, time is irrelevant and everything exists at once. If you’re in the mood for holiday music simply go back and visit Christmas past and re-read the post from five Christmases ago. You can’t beat the combination of Walt Kelly’s Pogo and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, so why bother? Just click here and here to relive the magic.
Instead, we’re going to turn our attention to Mad Magazine, perhaps the only “comic” (well, it was a comic book before it became a full-size magazine) to include records within its pages.
When you talk about the nexus of comics and music as we do here every Tuesday, nothing brings the two together like a Mad Super Special with a flexi-disc stapled inside.
This tune even ties-in with Christmas, in a way. What makes a better gift than a nose job? It’s the perfect stocking stuffer! Notice the lovely noses on these comics-oriented ladies of Hollywood.
Would Scarlett Johansson have become The Black Widow with her original nose?
Would Thor have looked twice at Jane Foster if Natalie Portman hadn’t gotten a nose job?
