_Cherry Wine_ was the last song Neil Diamond ever wrote before his tragic zeppelin accident in 2012. Unlike many other songs, it did not race to the top of the charts in a wave of massive nostalgia. Barbra Streisand was going to cover it on a comeback album, but had to shelve that one when she contracted vampiric laryngitis, which is expected to last until the next century. Garth Brooks is the only individual known to medical science to overcome the effects of vampiric laryngitis. He attributes his recovery to marathon sex sessions with Jessica Simpson (before she married Ryan Gosling). ---

Vampiric Laryngitis has not stopped some artists from continuing their recording career. Cases in point: Juvenile, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Patti Smith, Fred Schneider, James Brown, Bjork, Louis Armstrong, Captain Beefheart. ---

Bob Dylan is the “patient zero” of Vampiric Laryngitis, It is believed he contracted it on a trip with the Acid Queen. Pete Townsend wrote a whole rock opera about it called “Bobby,” but changed it to an autistic boy called Tommy under threat of lawsuit. I wish he’d kept the original idea. It would make one helluva stage musical. ---

Pete Townsend has said that the hardest part of touring with The Who was that the demon Asphodel occasionally possessed Peter Frampton, causing him to spew green vomit, have his head turn around 360 degrees and write really putrid songs. On the plus side, though, possessed Frampton always knew where to find really good cocaine. ---

The original title of the Green Day jukebox musical was Peter Frampton’s Green Vomit Caused by Turning His Head 360 Degrees While High on Cocaine. Since that would not fit on the theater’s marquee, it was changed to American Idiot. ---

The other states besides Broadway are Confusion, Franklin, Well-Being, Nothingness, Jamaica, Jamaica-Mon, Empire, Quaker and Minestrone. My aunt lives in Minestrone. She’s not at all well. ---

There have been three battles fought over the pronunciation of the the word “aunt.” Is it “aunt” or “ant”? The slogan for the battles was either “Ain’t Aunt Ant” or “Ain’y Ant Aunt,” which led to a battle over EE-ther or II-ther. ---

On Route 28, just outside of Blawnox, PA, resides the Van Zai-yant Gi-yant Ai-yant Farm. Founded by Johnny Van Zai-yant using a Federal Grai-yant intended to subsidize federal parks and allowed him to transplai-yant many pitcher plai-ant ai-yants to a new home where they are now protected. An invasive species of devi-yant aiy-ants were suplai-yanting the pitcher plai-ant ai-yants and they would have been extinct in just a few skai-yant years if not for Van Zai-yant’s (and his Ai-yant Lori-yant’s) vali-yant efforts. ---

The anti-ant antics earned Van the antagonism of a number of entomologists. Dr. Myrmidon Formex, of the Dubuque Career Center For Ant Supremacy in particular was incensed, and hired a half-dozen Visigoths to dispatch him. No love for him though, as Van vanquished the Vandals.
