Prudi Fresh does Zappa (in front of everyone)

Yes, what you have been hearing is true. Ms Prudi Fresh is back. Since we moved out of Pittsfield this winter, She has been pulling all the guts of her painful and joyful magic out. When I arrive back to our room after a long day of work, I open the door to the results of her tyrannical cabaretic voodoo fits. Underwear, bras, records, ripped thigh highs, poodles (from poodle skirts), pastel oil sticks, and guitar strings everywhere! And lately… it is all about Zappa. That’s all she plays allllll dayyyyyyy lonnnnnggggg. Zappa zappa zappa. That’s all she talks about.

I thought that maybe the only way to get her through this was to get her out of the room and onto the stage. But you know Prudi, she can be shockingly shy. So, when I brought it up, she literally ripped up the latest issue of Guitar Player, threw it in my face and buried herself under the hundreds of covers of Rolling Stone that she sleeps with. I didn’t see her for almost 3 days. The next time I brought it up, I was quick to mention that her good friend Iowa Blue would be there too doing her Lait de Poulet. (Iowa has this thing with chickens that only Prudi seems to understand. It’s a delicate and strange relationship but who am I to judge? I’m just glad she has someone she can relate to.) I didn’t tell her that Iowa already thinks Prudi will be there and that is why she agreed to go public with her curiously suggestive poultry gestational act.

Well, it worked because Prudi robustly decided to meet with Gypsy Layne’s cool and fearless leader, Nicole Rizzo, and is well on her way to making burlesque magic with Zappa in front of everyone at the Taste of Gypsy Layne show. I have no idea how she is going to do this, and I do hope that she doesn’t hurt anyone. This will be her second appearance with the Gypsies, the first being when Prudi tore the house down in Summer 2010 doing Van Halen in front of everyone. What a mess.

If you want to see how the destructively shy and somewhat savage brat Ms. Fresh is going to do Zappa in front of everyone then it may be best to keep that to yourself. I do suggest though that you find your way over to cheer her on if you are the type to do that sort of thing because Prudi Fresh loves to do Zappa in front of eager watchers.  Unfortunately, (or maybe not) I won’t be there for the show. I have more serious things to attend to like completing numerous Tap dances that are to be ready for student shows in May!! But I will be dropping her off and picking her up, at Public, in North Adams on March 29th for 8p.

If you go, bring your air guitars. And be ready to play them with Prudi. She’ll listen because she hears you.
