| Andy and His Grandmother, the new release from the late Andy Kaufman |
The name “Andy Kaufman” conjures many images. He was Latka Gravas, the man-child mechanic on Taxi, the comedian who lip synced the words to “The Mighty Mouse Theme” on Saturday Night Live, the tropically clad conga-playing performance artist, the wrestling enthusiast despised for fighting women, and, of course, the ultimate insult comic, “Tony Clifton.” In reality, Kaufman was a supreme improviser who made his entire life into a skit. There was nothing that wasn’t comedy to Kaufman. He was always on, and so was his tape recorder. That’s what we hear on Andy and His Grandmother (Drag City/Process Media), the first release culled from over 80 hours of Kaufman’s personal recordings made between 1977 and 1979.
