Best of the Worst: Petey Wheatstraw

[@frequencydecline5250]

I met Rudy Ray Moore in some random bbq shack in new jersey. He had been doing performances in Philadelphia. He was being driven around in an old volvo with several replaced body panels. After a brief chat he just said, "the old gray mare ain't what she used to be" and walked away leaning on his cane. He deserved way more than things seemed to be for him at that moment.

[@aniyilator]

A cool Dolemite story from Mike Flores (posted on the SubGenius Film Society page) "It was 1975 and I went to a grindhouse in Chicago to see Dolemite. Rudy was going to be there and he was. In those days you couldn't get tickets in advance, you waited in line in groups for each upcoming show. I got into line and a Chicago cop walked over to me and motioned for me to walk over to him. I did and he told me not to go into the theaters with all those "n's" and in those days nobody said "n word", they spelled it out. I said I was fine and went back into line. Rudy was walking up and down the line making jokes at the people in line (" your so fat..., etc) like Don Rickles on steroids. He walked over to me and asked what the cop said. He asked me my name. After I told him he said very loudly, "This is my friend Mike. Ya'll show him a good time". He then told me to meet him in the lobby after the show. We became friends and I would interview him for the zine of The Chicago Psychotronic Film Society IT'S ONLY A MOVIE years later. In the interview he praised Eddie Murphy, who is now playing him in DOLEMITE IS MY NAME. He was the comedian at my wedding party in Las Vegas, the marriage didn't last but my friendship with him did. He lived to see young white people fall in love with his work. He did a concert in Chicago and people were saying his routines back to him. It was a market he never thought he would reach."

Reading the invisible man by Ralph Ellison and came across this line spoken to the main character: "I'll verse you but I won't curse you - my name is Peter Wheatstraw, I'm the devil's only son-in-law, so roll em!" Don't remember if the guys referenced if the character Petey Wheatsraw was taken from this novel but it appears to have been.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

I know your comment is 3 years old, but in case someone runs across this video and comment section years later (as I have), I'll add a little info to your observation: "Peter Wheatstraw" was indeed a character in Ralph Ellison's novel, "Invisible Man", but Ellison actually took the character from Afro-American folklore. So, while it's possible that Rudy Ray Moore read "The Invisible Man," it's more likely that RRM and Ellison both took the name from the same (or a similar) source. Here's what Ellison had to say about Peter Wheatstraw: "As far as I know ‘Peter Wheatstraw’ was not, and is not, a living individual, but a character born of Afro-American mythology. Unfortunately, I know nothing of his legend, nor of how it originated, but as a boy who had friends who were aspiring pool & billiards sharks I was familiar with ‘Peter Wheatstraw’ as one half of a dual persona that was evoked in the form of a frontier brag (or boast) when players wished to challenge prospective opponents to combat upon the green cloth of pool tables. The name of 'Wheatstraw’s' other half (by the way, he was never ‘Peetie’ but always ‘Peter’) was ‘Lord God Stingerroy.’ Thus when a challenger banged through the swinging doors of the pool parlor he’d stamp his foot and let out a belligerent roar that went: My name is Peter Wheatstraw I’m the Devil’s only son-in-law - So who wants to play [or shoot] the Devil’s Son - Lord God Stingerroy! That is the extent of my Wheatstraw knowledge, and the circumstance out of which I appropriated the name when I used it in my novel." A few quick Google searches later, I've discovered that "Peetie Wheatstraw" was also the stage name of William Bunch, a popular bluesman of the 1930s and 1940s. According to blues scholar Paul Oliver, the name "Peetie Wheatstraw" had well-rooted folk associations (meaning Bunch got the name from probably the same folkloric traditions that Ellison did). Bunch recorded 161 songs, and all of his records were issued under the names "Peetie Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-in-Law" and "Peetie Wheatstraw, the High Sheriff from Hell." Some of his lyrics projected a boastful demonic persona. According to blues critic and author Tony Russell, "Wheatstraw constructed a macho persona that made him the spiritual ancestor of rap artists." He also influenced Robert Johnson, who borrowed heavily from Wheatstraw's songs and took on a similar supernatural backstory (the deal with the devil at the crossroads). So, basically, considering that he also used the "Devil's Son-in-Law" part, Rudy Ray Moore most likely took the name from the blues singer, or, like Ellison, he also heard people saying it in pool halls. Ellison was apparently aware of the blues singer (as the character in his novel was a blues singer), but took the name from folklore (which is probably where Bunch got it as well).

r. decline I don’t know man. I may not know dolemite. But I do know Jim Kelly, the black Bruce Lee! And I don’t see any of him in Bullhorn.

[@Thanatos2k]

The scene of little orphan Dudley dying in the Black Dynamite Different Strokes episode was also parodying the kid dying in this movie.

[@maximusprime3459]

Black Dynamite was a mix of Jim Brown and Jim Kelly, Bullhorn was specifically based on Rudy Ray Moore...then on the cartoon, Bullhorn meets the actual Rudy Ray Moore in one episode.

[@alicebershtein]

Did anybody ever find out about Lil Wayne

[@TheSilentFool]

After his Karate training he becomes a comedian. Petey Wheatstraw is a retelling of the life of Joe Rogan.

[@FinalManaTrigger]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@MrBrachiatingApe]

Including the Satan bits. I mean, look at all the crap Rogan has in his studio--do you honestly doubt the Devil's pimp cane is in there somewhere? BTW, if you haven't seen it check out Joe Rogan interview Roe Jogan. Priceless and beautifully executed.

[@Ozepyon09]

You mean Joe Rogan copied the life of the great Petey Wheatstraw

BOTW, except its Len Kabasinski, Macaulay Culkin, Patton Oswalt and Max Landis doing a spotlight episode of Space Cop

They have the three movies for a full BOTW episode though: Len Kabasinski, Macaulay Culkin and the Canadians doing a BOTW between Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant, Feeding Frenzy and Space Cop.

I live down the street from Lil' Wayne. Not even joking. I'm gonna try to ask him.

[@rspeak5768]

Did you ask him yet?

[@CERTAIND00M]

@@rspeak5768 I walked my dog past his place like two hours ago. No one was around. You can't just go straight up to his door, so I'm hoping to catch somebody from his crew outside. Gonna try again in an hour. Will report back ASAP.

[@CERTAIND00M]

FINALLY got an answer from a very nice man claiming to be his dad: He laughed and said, "No, it's 'cause his name was Wayne and he was little. Why, what movie's it in?" "Petey Wheatstraw." ::laughs:: "Really?! Dolomite was my shit as a younger man." "So you know the movie?" "I haven't seen any of 'em in years." "Since before your son was born?" ::laughs again:: "Maybe not." He then gathered the mail and gave me a parting nod as he headed back inside. Sorry if that was anticlimactic but there you go.

[@CylindricalWhistle]

Is your family rich? You must live in an insanely pricey neighborhood if you're just down the street from Lil Wayne.

[@moisttowlette123]

These guys definitely made the right choice doing a spotlight for this film. Seriously straddles the areas of B movie, bad movie, and legitimate film equally and more than worth the watch.

Apparently inspired by an earlier Blues musician who went by “Peetie Wheatstraw, the Devil’s son-in-law”: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peetie_Wheatstraw . Per that Wikiepdia entry, Ralph Ellison had a “Peetie Wheatstraw” in his novel _Invisible Man_ based on the musician.

Of course he broke the cane, The universe required correction. After that, the cane served no purpose beyond temptation.

This is an excellent episode. I wish you guys talked even longer. Rudy Ray Moore is great, and I'd really love to hear what you guys thought of the Dolemite is My Name movie with Eddie Murphy, which you mentioned briefly in here.

I'm really appreciative of when you just have a normal episode where you talk about classic bad and "bad" movies.
