Louis "Grandpa" Jones - TV Blues
Released in 1952, when a lot of homes in the US were just beginning to get TV sets, this song is a cautionary tale: the new TV the protagonist buys disrupts his household when all his wife and kids want to do is watch it. The photo in the video is a rare one, showing Jones without his "Grandpa" makeup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0752...&start_radio=1 |

I thought I had seen all of the SNL episode(s) Zappa appeared on. I guess not, since I don't recall that song being played. Thanks for posting it. And now, after two tunes that take a cynical lookk at the idiot box, here's a rockabilly-flavored tune that praises it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwd6...&start_radio=1 |
