Bands that "jumped the shark"...

[Sky]

"obscured by clouds" then the run of great albums begins.

That's the one..Obscured by Clouds. Nicely done (too lazy to search for myself).

Funny thing, I picked up Meddle after I had DSOTM...and as a Freshman...hanging with juniors and seniors who were unfamiliar...well, let's just say it got borrowed a lot. So one of them went out and got OBC....not so good. One of the Juniors had the Sat PM slot @ the campus station. He borrowed Meddle, put on "Echoes"...and left the station to visit me. HEH! It had been so abused, it started to skip. That kid ran all the way back to the station. Ah, memories.

That same kid turned me on to Firesign Theater The Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye. Cripes the brain cells I wasted remembering that entire sketch. @ 4th and Drucker he turned left, @ Drucker and 4th he turned right. He crossed the street and walked into a great sandstone building *ouch, my nose*.

My 20's sons love that sketch. Favorite line...He came crashing through the wall honking wildly and stopped on a dime. Unfortunately, the dime was in Mr Rococco's pocket.

Come in out of the cornstarch and dry your mucklucks by the fire. Would you like to wait in the sitting room or sit in the waiting room?


No Doubt: Rock Steady. I'm not sure I even listened to the whole CD. Actually probably before that but I liked the band so I was willing to forgive alot. The Beacon Street Collection is in my player but I don't listen to the stations that play whatever any of them are doing now or her solo stuff.


Floyd had some that I don't care for as much as others but just the other day I was looking for The Final Cut so I can't say there was one that started a downhill slide for me.

Sting after Mercury Falling...I wouldn't say he has sucked, but his later stuff is definitely not as good.

"And be sure to use what I use every day you little rookies - Loosner's Castor Oil Flakes with real glycerin vibrafoam!!"

The other Firesign Theatre album we used to listen to was "I Think We're All Bozos on this Bus", which was very weird......it required many listenings and lots of mind alteration to get into it......

"Exit left to the Funway. Please remember to inflate your shoes before crossing the water......."

*jingle* Oh You ain't got the juice if you ain't got the boost...the boost you get from Loosner's.....LOOOOOsnerrrrs. The ALL Weather Breakfast"

There was one vague memory of a skit where this guy is in some hotel...and the gentleman at the front desk asks "You're bags have been sent on ahead...where are you staying?" The best hotel in town. "Of course...Front! *ding*, take this man to his room"

The guy ends up on some sort of game show where he gets shot up with a disease and he has to "Guess" the infliction in order to get the antidote. He moves along and garners prize money...with each injection the Master of Ceremonies says..."OK..Shoot him up with the BiiiiiIIIIG *in sing song fashion* DisEASE!". The last one, the guy fails to correctly guess. "Ohhhhhh...were sorry, that's incorrect. You've got...The Plague. And Our next contestant *voice fades* as the guy with the plague is shown the door and enters the public. News casts in the background and on the cab's radio talk about the spreading plague.

Funny...*or not*...that's all I remember. *surprised I remember THAT much if ya know what I mean...if ya catch my drift*.

Sorry Sky - you lost me on that one.......not familiar.......

Glad to see I'm not the only FT fan out there. I was afraid it was all a weird dream from long ago......



Roccoco: "You may remember her as Susan Underhill? ..."

Nick: "Susan Underhill?"

Roccoco: "Audrey Farber?"

Nick: "Audrey Farber?"

Roccoco: "How about ... Betty Jo Bialofsky?!!!!"

<<Cue Hammond Organ playing dim7 chord>>

 

[pepsi]
