| The
Iceman Cometh alludes to Matthew 25:
5-6 "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at
midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh" (Michael Manheim. The Cambridge
Companion to Eugene O'Neill. Cambridge, 1998, 84) and
an old joke. A salesman comes home early; finding no ice for the drink he wants, he yells upstairs to his wife, "Honey, has the iceman come yet?" She replies, "Not yet, but he's puffing pretty hard." (Stephen A. Black. Eugene O'Neill. Beyond Mourning and Tragedy. New Haven, 1999. 417). Deshalb wohl ist Louis Jordan (später von Ray Charles wiederholt) in seinem R&B Song recht vorsichtig: "I don't want no iceman, honey, I will get me a fridgadaire." Louis Jordan I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town (William Weldon, Rox Jordan) 1956. |
