Fine, but I'm first in line to compose the (boppish) theme song "Hoppin' at Hopson's"...

I was wondering what cranny of my brain my nomination for Dolan's club crawled out from: it's a tribute to Beat poet Ed Sanders' magazine from the sixties "Fuck You, A Journal of the Arts".

I thought Cozy Dolan's made sense...

Maybe Cozy Dolan's wasn't such a bright idea; apparently he was banned from baseball in for trying to throw a game in 1924.
