Good Friends of the Upper Crust- Their Lordships are born of an Age of Enlightenment and thus not given to superstition. Nevertheless, they are very much observers of certain practices which they consider to either bring or avert bad fortune: Jackie Kickassis will absolutely not walk beneath a ladder, and will take great pains to avoid a falling grand piano. The Lord Bendover avoids snakes of all kinds, being unable to differentiate between the venomous and the ostensibly benign ones, and disliking the idea of being bitten by reptiles in any case. Likewise he will not eat mushrooms, being averse to fungus on principle, and liking it as little between his teeth as his toes. The Duc d’Istortion will not play Russian roulette with a loaded pistol under any circumstances, since all of his pistols are matchlocks which fire but one ball, and if loaded, likely as not to discharge with fatal effect. Count Bassie, on the other hand, being of phlegmatic disposition, always wears a sheepskin condom when engaged in physical intimacy with a person or persons with whom he is not entirely familiar. Also, he will not stand on the lip of a precipice nor gaze into a bottomless abyss for fear of falling therein. Ah, strange and incomprehensible are the ways of these noble gentlemen! So why, do you think, would they undertake to play a benefit concert for Crash Safely at Oberon in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Ma., the evening of September 13th—a Friday, if I am not mistaken, and thus a night when superstition runs rampant? Who knows? Who cares? But if you fear no good can result, we invite you to come, if you dare, and watch them perform… I shall be there myself, and together we can drown our collective anxiety in a great quantity of intoxicating Rocque and Roll. Until then, I remain your ever faithful correspondent, keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on wood in the hopes that I shall see you very soon, Bumbles Secretary and Manservant to Their Lordships the Upper Crust
