about

Little Fyodor recites a poem that I (Evan) wrote (and drew). I accompany on fuzz guitar. This is an early example of me giving David material to recite in his snarling Fyodor persona while I played another instrument. This had occurred only one time previously with Couch Dots a number of months earlier when Mikal Bellan (Rumours Of Marriage) gave David a poem about paranoia to recite in a New Jersey accent. In the “Dogshit Drool” poem, there is a line about “gruel” and an exclamation “Oh give me more!”. This references Charles Dickens’ “Oliver”. In my senior class play (“Oliver”), I played the part of Mr. Bumble, who runs the kids’ work-house. Oliver begs him for more gruel, “May I have some more?” and Bumble has a fit. “Gruel” rhymes with “drool” and that’s how it got in there. This originally appeared on the "Johnny Rocco" cassette release, credited to the faux-group Charity Cases.
