That Monty Python skit/bit is/was one of the best ever. I miss their
reruns.

Did you ever hear of Firesign Theatre? One of my favorites is "Don't
Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers".


Reruns??!! We don't need no stinkin' reruns!!
Hey danl, I suppose I shouldn't be telling you, since I am only about 2
hours down river from you, that I have the entire Monty Python Flying Circus
on DVD! 14 disks to be exact. If you want, check out AandE.com, as they are
the ones that put it out. Says so right on the packaging. But my feeble
brain is trying to tell me that the wifey ordered it from Rhino???

"Firesign Theatre"!! Now you did it. Gonna have to go out and buy a new
turntable (my old one puked about 2 years ago) so that I can listen to all
of the Firesign vinyl albums that are sitting in the other room.

How about the "Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band" with "Legs" Larry Smith, Neil Innes,
Viv Stanshall, and others, "I'm Just an Urban Spaceman", etc.

For anyone who was a child of the '60's and '70's and had friends who may
have partaken of some illicit substances, there is "The Child's Garden of
Grass". Though I have no personal experience (ahem, I refuse to answer on
the grounds that fishing is a WHOLE lot more fun, AND mind altering :-),
this is an absolutely hysterical work of art.

Oh gawd!! Help me, I'm sinking into a morass of youthful flashbacks!!
REO Speedwagon, Styx, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes. All
garage bands from around the Chicago area of my youth.
The Aragon Ballroom and the Amphitheater!!!
Summertime concerts at Soldier Field!

danl, if I ever pull out of this mindset of my youth, I'll get even with
you, somehow, when you least expect it!
