Anybody remember Firesign Theatre?

[JoeBaD]

God knows why I thought of this.

Squeeze the Weeze.

Its a Bozo nose.

It won't hurt.


Ah, the days of Boones Farm AW and mucho weed.

I spent many, many hours listening to them.

Shoes for Industry! More sugar! Ralph Spoilsport, George Tirebiter, Nick Danger, Rocky Rococo.

...covered by a thin, thin, thin 16 millimeter shell. And inside, it's delicious. That's Arnie's Whole-beef Halves, we deliver. (Offer not good after curfew in sectors R or N.)

Oh, it ain't no use if you ain't got the boost,
The boost you get from Loostner's! (Loo-ooo-stners)
Loostner's Castor Oil Flakes - The All-weather Breakfast!

sorry to make you guys feel dated, but... my dad listened to firesign theater when he was my age (about 30 years ago)

JoeBaD, thanks for the flashback. I spent many wasted hours listening to their albums. I saw them perform on stage a few years back and it was good. They had a show on PBS last year with "Nick Danger"-I wish they'd repeat it so I can tape it.

"The biblical account of the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah resembles a nuclear explosion- as it would be described by an uneducated witness" - from the "Dear Friends" album.

Did you know there is a pizza chain called Rocky Rococco's?

Anyway, no need to "remember" Firesign...they are still around and still putting out recordings!

Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers.

Great stuff.

Makes me feel old to remember it, though!
