Chicago Red became Fred Sanford
finally Redd Foxx on the other end
of my MP radio call
pub management at the Chesty Puller
club feared for the comedian’s safety
as Redd honed in on a stageside audience
member-spitting him out like clown candy
tongue holding the man down better than
yard tool tongs at a shooting gallery as the
other audience Marines spewed up laughter
ole Redd burning on like a bulldog ashtray
