    Harrison Greenbum represents today's feminized ultra-beta males with his feminized voice, weak jokes, woke stance, and his material is based on subjects he doesn't even understand. He's literally one of the worst comedians of all time. I was happy to see Norm Macdonald absolutely destroy him on stage. You couldn't pay me to go see one of his "performances".

    This song is from the mind of Pat Paulsen, and if you ever saw him, it makes perfect sense. He would have made a great President. I'm intrigued that Tom Smothers starts the song with the phrase "Play magic fingers", because a couple of years later, Michael Nesmith (of the Monkees) says the same thing in Papa Gene's Blues. I have convinced myself with absolutely zero evidence that this is not a coincidence.

    I loved this story and was tickled to realize it was the full story, not just a preview!! Please keep the Eli Marks stories and books coming and definitely keep Jim Cunningham as your narrator. I have always enjoyed how you successfully blend murder mystery, magic as a hobby/industry/profession, and local details about the Twin Cities. There's also a little something really fun about Eli's humanity, vulnerability, and journey through life that leaves me feeling like I've enjoyed a story rather than just a mystery. Beyond the next murder to be solved, I am dying (so to speak) to know how Eli handles teaching kids at the next magic camp, and what we can all learn from the Minneapolis Mystics about resiliency.
