Aaron from Uppity Negro had a post about 'The Firesign Theatre'. I haven't heard their fun stuff in ages. They're a comedy group that put out albums in the late 60's-early 70's [going strictly from memory here]. As far as I know, their satire was listened to while we were doing halucinogens or smoking weed. I don't remember if I heard them in high school or not, but remember playing their album in the dorm and screaming in fits of laughter. NPR.org has them for several upcoming performances. Knowing Firesign Theatre lyrics was a sort of litmus test of how aware you were at that time of free love and Vietnam and getting high. Just as good music [Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Clapton] was the back drop of that era. Labels: 60s, Led-Zeppelin, music  |
