		She was always game for anything Ernie dreamed up for her to do, and was just as likely to take a pie in the face or a pratfall as she was to sing a serious and beautiful song or do a celebrity impersonation (she did an excellent Marilyn Monroe, among others).
		Kovacs had always felt the tax system was unfair, and had simply refused to pay, resulting in the eventual garnishment of up to 90% of his wages.
		Ernie disliked working in front of a live audience, as was the case with the shows he did for NBC in the 1950's.

	Ernie Kovacs
		Ernie Kovacs is often called the first true comedy genius of television -- even though none of his many television series lasted very long on the air.
		Kovacs was one of the first performers to really use the full visual potential of television, making it almost a co-star in his act.
		Kovacs' grave marker features a facsimile of his signature, but his handwriting is nearly illegible, so the marker also includes his tiny printed name, in parenthesis, beneath the signature.

	The Ernie Kovacs Record Collection
		The Kovacs Mystique endures through his undeniable charisma: the mustache, those smirks, the gesticulating cigar, the deadpan double-takes and the nonchalance, as well as the manÕs penchant for silly accents and hamfisted ethnic humor.
		Kovacs was also a granddaddy of exploring what is nowadays called "Incredibly Strange Music," or "Space Age Pop." He used recordings by Esquivel, Robert Maxwell, and Les Baxter, and featured live performances by such eccentric artists as Peruvian diva Yma Sumac, Ferrante and Teicher (on prepared piano), and off-key chanteuse Leona Anderson.
		Ernie also used a section of the third movement, illustrated by a young couple and a cop at a water fountain, and he also used a section of Bartok's piece for strings and celeste illustrated by a circus poster of a clown with tears streaming down its face.

		But Kovacs, who loved TV almost as much as the 20 cigars he smoked daily, envisioned new possibilities.
		By using kaleidoscopic images, flouts, superimpositions and other video techniques, he was able to show a man vacuuming the ceiling, a three-inch woman crawling up his arm and another woman setting fire to her bathwater.
		Sadly, if he said the same thing today, many TV honchos would look at Ernie Kovacs as if he were a monkey.

		Inventive television comic Ernie Kovacs heard it and was inspired to build one of his recurring routines around it.
		Kovacs would stand next to a knight's suit of armour and periodically open the visor.
		Kovacs' widow, Edie Adams, later recalled that ""She knew she was camp, but she was very funny, and very sweet." This tidbit of notoriety probably led Unique Records to record and release Music to Suffer By, quite consciously packaged as a joke.
