Regarding the two Firesign Theater CD's that I have just finished enjoying for the second time through. And you have to listen to the bits over and over to fully appreciate the humor. But I owe you a review.

"In short, delicious and biting satire and outroariously funny. And so politically incorrect as I listen nearly 40 years after they were recorded."

As I told you offline, the deep recesses of my memory have been unlocked. I have heard a number of these bits some lifetime ago. Now I remember where I heard the name Nick Danger.

These guys have really stood the test of time. Their humor is as irreverent today as it was in the 60's/70's, but from a different grownup perspective. Thank you so much for sharing them with me.

Are you listening to Rush?! Spike Lee's makin' an IGNORANT FOOL of himself and Limbaugh's drillin' him a new one!! Someday, I'd like to introduce myself to Spike Lee--maybe at a Knicks' game so we have an audience--and then Whup Spike's Racist Arse!!

Quite Sincerely...MUD

Glad you enjoyed 'em.
I knew you'd heard at least bits & pieces of 'em, before.
Just lost in the 30 years of time since they'd been produced, is all.

Interestingly enough?
Over time you're going to hear (derive) more & more from their satire; which, is really quite timeless?
But as is usually the case one must listen carefully, as well as, listen at the right time.

Remember what I said about the elusive cutoff age of those who'd have any appreciation for the things, too.
Means yankhater will be completely lost; just as our good friend, Mudboy Slim undoubtably found himself as he listened to his copy?

...unless you're there with him to do a lot of translating.
