Cornered by Mike Baldwin for January 05, 2025

Small: “Strict adherence.” Large: “Monster” recital.

Everybody’s a comedian…

Is that piano a Frankensteinway?

Small: work for the WALLet, not for him

Large: play that (Franken-)Steinway as if you’re on fire…

Isn’t he the guy who sets his piano on fire during his performance?

Wait till the alarm goes off in that place!!

1. I have something to tell you, but I’m gonna go stand across the hall before I tell you.

2. Pssst, let him play it as many times as he wants… the pitchforks and torches aren’t here yet!

Elton Stein…

Now is the time to break out the pitchforks and torches.

drink gooooood smoke goooooood it is my only weakness

Large: I know it’s all relative but his brother Albert Einstein was considered one of the smartest ever. Frank missed that train, and brain.

Are Frank’s hands bandaged from fire?

If you’re blue, and you don’t know where to go to

Why don’t you go where fashion sits?

Puttin’ on the Ritz

Different types who wear a day coat

Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits

Puttin’ on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million-dollar trouper

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

Come, let’s mix where Rockefellers

Walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts

Puttin’ on the Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do

Up and down Park Avenue?

On that famous thoroughfare

With their noses in the air

High hats and Arrow collars

White spats and lots of dollars

Spending every dime for a wonderful time

If you’re blue, and you don’t know where to go to

Why don’t you go where fashion sits?

Downtown, uptown

Get your kicks at the Ritz

Dine and wine, but not ’til nine

The time is right for us tonight

We can move

Move to the rhythm

We can

Move

Move

I want you to move

Caption 1: The stresses of Wall Street.

Caption 2: Monsters of Rock 2025.

I worked there fortunately my bosses like that moved on after a year. They didn’t fit in with the corporate goals. haha

….up the wall??…..and probably over the top!!!!!

No “Smoke on the Water”…….?

2nd panel: “Expressos will be served in the green room after the recital”

Suretainly cannot expect a firey performance from him.

Wall street office eh.

Large: Frankly your performance could use a little fire under it.

Frankenstein’s monster is an environmentalist with his “Fire Bad!” global warming songs. He IS green, after all…

Frank should try Fire by Bruce Springsteen, or maybe I Go To Pieces.

“He didn’t start the fire…” (Frankie’s nod to Billy Joel)
