Any fans here of the Firesign Theatre comedy troupe? I was turned on to them in high school <1972> and have loved them since. You could listen to an album 30 times and the 31st you would hear something new.

Rocky: Worthless? <laughs - coughs> Not to Melanie Haber.

Nick: Melanie Haber?

Rocky: You may remember her as Audrey Farber?

Nick: Audrey Farber?

Rocky: Susan Underhill?

Nick: Susan Underhill?

Rocky: How about Betty Jo Bialowsky!

Nick: <thinking> Betty Jo Bialowsky! I hadn't heard that name since college. Every one knew her as Nancy!

They are very funny. I think they were recently (last couple of years) doing shows on TV and live. I do not remeber where.
Their albums are classic.

I believe that is Cheech and Chong (unless there is a Firesign 'Dave's not here', too).

I think we're all bozos on this bus . . . . .

Ah yes, Firesign Theater, a nice sized chunk of my college years.

You hear something new every stinkin' time. I love them.

Now it's time to have a warm, heaping bowlful of Loostner's Castor Oil Flakes.

Late-'60s HS grad, here... couldn't have finished HS without these guys... waitaminute... I didn't finish HS!! OK... did summer school, and got my diploma just in-time to do Woodstock.

Their first three albums are my favorites... probably because I enlisted, and from that point on, was fed a steady diet of C&W.

Classic Firesign Theatre?

I still listen to 'em... but without any "wine-soaked and sugar-cured" assistance.
