Sometimes old country songs have weird ideas in them. "Santa Claus ain't a hippie/Sure as Jesus Christ" -- what does that mean? And I find the idea that 'hippies" would be anti-Santa kinda -- well, unexpected.

I've only gotten out of the car in Staten Island twice, and one of those ties was when my band Jimmy and The Wolfpack played a show at Liedy's Shore Inn for about ten non-paying customers. I was the drummer and I forgot my snare stand so I just set the snare on a chair. Good show.

For Handy-

You asked for it and here it is. Our Fool's Paradise Rex-wfmu Fool’s Paradise Holiday Cocktail of 2024, as mixed in WFMU today.

𝐓𝐨𝐲𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥

Makes two small elf portions or one big Santa goblet.

1.5 Armagnac (we’re using Marie Duffau)
1 oz Suze aperitif liqueur
1 oz Nocello walnut liqueur (Toschi brand)
Dash Angostura bitters
4 cranberries
For garnish: grapefruit peel

1. Prepare the garnish; set aside.

2. In a mixing glass, muddle cranberries. (If they’re still frozen, a few drops of water help.)

3. Add ice, boozes and bitters. Stir until frosty, strain into a cocktail glass.

3. Pinch the grapefruit peel over glass to express citrus oils; rub peel on rim of glass, and finally drop it into the drink garnish.

Cheers yez all!
