Today's edition of Before and After comes courtesy of Friend of the Blog, Mr. Art Fein. Art points us to the origins of the Cramps' "Most Exalted Potentate Of Love" by tracing it to "Louisville Lodge Meeting" by Louis Jordan, about a fist fight that breaks out at a mens lodge. As a one time manager of the Cramps, he knows about these things. "I was driving through Downey with Lux, and we were looking for thrift stores when this song came up on the tape I made and gave him. It apparently tickled his imagination." It certainly did. Thank you, Art!
