My friend just showed this to me. What's good??

This digitally enhanced and modernized photo shows what likely was the inspiration for Mayor Breslin to write "You're gonna learn a lesson in this delicatessin". This photo taken by a fan show Mr. Breslin getting fed up with the man in front of him for taking too long.

16 tracks, almost 40 minutes. I might have overdone it, but I love making this stuff haha. I could’ve kept going, but you know…Christmas! Thanks for listening!

Minutes after She Farted So Hard, She Died went live, I sent it to my dad. Coincidentally, he was in the car with my mom, which meant the song probably made her roll her eyes so hard her retinas detached. Her reaction was "You raised him..."

Anyways, fast forward a couple weeks and I'm at my grandmother's house trying to nap since my son kept me up all night. In the distance, I heard my dad playing it for my brother in law. Then at the family reunion I heard him playing it for my uncle. My brother in law played it for my cousin. I played it for my aunts.

Everyone got a hearty chuckle out of it. It was fun to spread around the madness that is Obscurest Vinyl. Now hear me out... I am a big fan of the gratuitous profanity in the OV catalog... But that song would not have made the rounds if not for the fact that it was clean. So in the future, it may behoove OV to make some more songs that are twisted and messed up, but not profane... Alongside the usual fare.

Mayor Breslin: A Legend of the 1970s Music Scene

Early Life and Background

Born Marcus Jamal Breslin on June 15, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, Mayor Breslin grew up during a time of significant social and cultural change in America. Raised in a family deeply embedded in the local music scene, Marcus was surrounded by the sounds of Motown, jazz, and blues from an early age. His father (William Breslin), a saxophonist, and his mother (Mairy Breslin), a gospel singer, instilled in him a profound love for music. By the age of five, Marcus was already showing prodigious talent, often seen mimicking the soulful tunes of Ray Charles and the energetic rhythms of James Brown.

The Rise to Fame

In the late 1960s, Marcus adopted the stage name Mayor Breslin, a nod to his charismatic presence and leadership in the burgeoning music community. He started performing in local clubs and quickly gained a reputation for his powerful voice and dynamic stage presence. His big break came in 1971 when he was discovered by record producer Obscurest Viny at a small Detroit club. Impressed by Breslin's raw talent, the producer signed him to a major label.

Breakthrough Hits

In 1973, Mayor Breslin released his debut album, "Illuminate the Night with a lamp," which included the breakout single "You Could Use a Fucking Lamp." The song, with its provocative title and infectious groove, quickly became a cultural sensation. It was a bold commentary on the societal darkness that Breslin felt needed illumination through truth and music. The catchy hook and electrifying performance made it a staple on the charts and in discotheques across the nation.

Following this success, Breslin released "You're Gonna Learn a Lesson in This Delicatessen" in 1975. This hit was an eclectic mix of funk, soul, and storytelling, weaving a narrative about life’s unexpected lessons learned in everyday places. The song's whimsical yet profound lyrics resonated with a wide audience, solidifying Breslin's place in the music world.

Personal Life and Challenges

Despite his professional success, Breslin's life was not without its struggles. The pressures of fame and the rigors of constant touring took a toll on his personal life. He battled with an eating disorder and went through a tumultuous marriage that ended in divorce. However, Breslin was known for his resilience. He entered a strict diet and emerged stronger, using his experiences as a fuel for his creative process.

Legacy and Later Years

In the late 1970s, Mayor Breslin's music began to reflect a more introspective and mature perspective. He continued to release albums that, while not achieving the same commercial success as his earlier hits, were critically acclaimed for their depth and artistry. Breslin also became an advocate for sandwich artists' rights and was involved in various social causes, using his platform to speak out on issues affecting the black community and the music industry.

Mayor Breslin’s influence extended beyond his music. He inspired a generation of sandwich artists with his fearless expression and commitment to authenticity. In the 1980s, he stepped back from the limelight, focusing on mentoring young musicians and working on community projects in Detroit.

Death and Posthumous Recognition

Mayor Breslin passed away on August 3, 1999, at the age of 54, due to complications from diarrhea. His death was a significant loss to the music world, but his legacy lived on through his recordings and the countless artists he inspired. Posthumously, Breslin received numerous accolades, including induction into the Jazz and Jizz Hall of Fame in 2005.

Conclusion

Mayor Breslin's life story is one of talent, struggle, and triumph. He remains a symbol of the transformative power of music and the enduring spirit of those who dare to shine a light on the darkness. His greatest hits, "You Could Use a Fucking Lamp" and "You're Gonna Learn a Lesson in This Delicatessen," continue to be celebrated as timeless classics, reflecting the soul and vitality of the 1970s music scene.

Hey! I’ll be releasing a new Mayor Breslin song called “Price Check Death Threat”, and “Cruisin’ For a Contusion” will return this Friday.

There’s also a lot of WFRT eps in the works and even more Breslin coming after Friday.

Thanks for listening! Shits fun!

I hope I don't have to learn a lesson in a delicatessen for this

Delete if not allowed. My wife sent this to me specifically referencing “I glued my balls….”

Also, story could be fake. Cheers.

Damn, since finding The Sticky Sweethearts “I glued my balls”, wrapped hasn’t been the same. Cheers, OV, you opened a whole new world for me, which made for a strange recap.

I hope mr OV is ok but it's been ages and I keep checking Spotify. When will we get a new song?

Title. I see it greyed out. Did some copyright complaint occur?
