I heard this fellow sing in a bar called Watertown when he was maybe 16 or 17 years old-- about 1983. Big fellow holding that tiny Portuguese ukulele! If Hitler had lived, I guess the Hawaiian "Alii" ("royalty") idea that "fat is king" and that "breeding for gigantic fat" is good woulda been out the window. Instead, we'd have millions of beautiful lithe, lanky, tawny-haired Aryan women, and not squat, rotund sqwaws from Mexico runnin' around all over the place. Wow, that would have been tough, huh? At least they wouldn't knofe, or cap you in the public streets.
"IZ" checked off the planet in 1997, at somewhere over 700 pounds, a vicitm of morbid obesity and his ancestors' 'good breeding stock'. Here, he aptly sings "Over The Rainbow" for Uncle Adolf. For another "Over The Rainbow" version on podblanc, try jew Tiny Tim medley here: http://podblanc.ath.cx/?q=node/47
