Father's Day Treat: "I Think We Are All Bozos on this Bus" (Firesign Theater 1971)
"Many busy executives ask me, "What about the job displacement market program in the city of the future?" Well, count on us to be there, JIM, because, if we're lucky tomorrow, we won't have to deal with questions like yours ever again."
"[to the tune of "Back In the Saddle Again"] Back from the shadows again. Out where an Injun's your friend. Where the vegetables are green, and you can pee into the stream, we're back from the shadows again."
Visionary comedy/satire from 1971. Hackers and holograms, clowns and politicians, Unemployment and mythology. Unemployment AS mythology. We're back fromthe shadows again...A "Must" experience -- an aural science fiction adventure and satire.
