Remember the slogan of the jazz radio station where Bleeding Gums Murphy was trying to get some airplay. Something like:

"53 listeners can't be wrong"

After waiting for a package of some sort for 6-8 weeks in the mail . . .

[mailbox opens] Bart: The female-man is here!

Lisa: Female CARRIER, Bart!

Cracks me up every time . . .

Bleeding Gums Murphy: You know, you play pretty well for someone with no real problems.

Lisa: Yeah, well I don't feel any better.

Bleeding Gums Murphy: The blues isn't about making yourself feel better, it's about making other people feel worse. And makin' a few bucks while you're at it.

-----------------------------------------------

Lisa: I'm wailing out for the homeless family living out of its car. The Iowa farmer, whose land has been taken away by unfeeling bureaucrats. The West Virginia coal miner, coughing up his--

Mr. Largo: Well, that's all fine and good, but Lisa, none of those unpleasant people are going to be at the recital next week.

I love the Bleeding Gums episode. I had an early jazz mentor who could have been Bleeding Gums. Same attitude, similar POV. I just love that episode because it always reminds me of him.

Marge: "Lisa! Get away from that Jazz Man! [to Murphy] Nothing personal, I just fear the unfamiliar!"

*************************

Bleeding Gums Murphy: My friends call me "Bleeding Gums".

Lisa: Why do they call you that?

Bleeding Gums Murphy: You ever been to a dentist?

Lisa: Yes.

Bleeding Gums Murphy: Well I havn't.

Lyrics to "Lonely Life Blues"

I've been so lonely
Since my honey left me
Got no money
And nothing is free

I've been so lonely
Since the day I was born
All I've got is ...
A rusty old horn
