About The Record:

Have Some Nuts, by Vaughn Meader, marked a deliberate shift from his earlier Kennedy impersonation work, featuring a collection of non-political comedy skits that explored the absurdities of everyday American life. The album, with contributions from comedians like Joe Silver and Norma MacMillan, included notable tracks like And This Is My Beloved, a dark-humored sketch about a funeral parlor, but failed to capture significant public or critical attention. Historically, the album is significant as it was Meader’s attempt to reinvent himself after his career plummeted following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in November 1963, which abruptly ended the popularity of his Kennedy-centric comedy. The album’s lack of success underscored Meader’s struggle to escape his typecasting as a Kennedy impersonator, as the public was still mourning and unreceptive to his new direction.
