“Merrow down easy, Eddie-san,” Richie said, doing his Chinese Coolie Voice. “Iss just other kids shooting off fireclackers.”
“That s-sucks the r-r-root, Rih-Rih-Richie,” Bill remarked. The other laughed.
“I keep trying, Big Bill,” Richie said. “I feel like, if I get good enough, someday I’ll earn your love.” He made dainty kissing gestures at the air. Bill shot him the finger. Ben and Eddie stood side by side, grinning.
“Oh I’m so young and you’re so old, ” Stan Uris piped up suddenly, doing and eerily accurate Paul Anka imitation, “this my darling I’ve been told-“
“He can sayng!” Richie screeched in his Pickaninny Voice. “Lawks-a-mussy, thisyere boy can sanyg!”

…Eddie said he was going to watch The Rock Show on TV because Neil Sedaka was going to be on and he wanted to see if Neil Sedaka was a Negro. Stan told Eddie not to be so stupid, Neil Sedaka was white, you could tell he was white just listening to him. Eddie claimed you couldn’t tell anything by listening to them; until last year he had been positive Chuck Berry was white, but when he was on Bandstand, he turned out to be a Negro.
“My mom still thinks he’s white, so that’s a good thing,” Eddie said. “If she finds out he’s Negro, she probably won’t let me listen to his songs anymore.”
Stan bet Eddie four funnybooks that Neil Sedaka was white, and the two of them set off together to settle the issue.
