The Marvelous Frank Zappa

I don't know if many fans of Frank Zappa's music are likely also to be fans of the Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. If you're not, why aren't you? Why aren't you watching it right now? If for nothing else then to see Kevin Pollak play the role of a lifetime as Moishe Maisel?

Anyway. If you do watch the show, then you know a frequent character is a fictionalized Lenny Bruce. And, if you've gotten as far as I have in the second season, you know that they have Lenny Bruce appear on The Steve Allen Show, where he sings a weird lonely little song. And, as much as you wonder via watching this show if Tony Curtis ever actually compared smooching Marilyn Monroe to smooching Hitler (he did), you wonder if Lenny Bruce ever actually got on The Steve Allen Show and sang this weird lonely little song.

Now, if you're a fan of the album We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers, then there's another Lenny Bruce bit you might want to hear.

Madge, I just couldn't help it, dog-gone it.
