Firesign is tops. I got into them because of a Rolling Stone Record Guide (book) review stating Firesign's view of WW2 is America lost since WW2 was supposedly a war on fascism.

Well, that and most other views are viewed, skewed, and skewered by Firesign. Take topical humor, stuff it in a duffle bag, and smoke it. This is timeless.

Even purists and fans may argue and agree Firesign has lost it's spark and been resigned to just a few magic moments in recent years, but that's a benign argument. Your fave Firesign moments may be from 1968 or from last month's podcast, and their humor (from timeless Nick Danger to timely 'shoes for industry') are as potent as ever.

Watch the Comedy Network for a few days, then listen to what you consider a terrible Firesign release. You'll get more out of firesign detritus.

Thanks for these jewels of industry.

I've wanted a recording of this record for YEARS, is there any way I can hear it or possibly get an mps of it from you? I'd gladly pay for one, I really love that song and have never seen a copy to buy. Thanks- Andrea

It's pretty amazing what a few cans of paint will do, isn't it? Thanks for the look.

always a treat to go behind the scenes...especially with "imagineers". My friend that designed Indiana Jones (and Toon Town) showed me where he left his initials.

Thanks for the pics of Jesse White, Howard Morris, The Firesign Gang, Sheriff John, Moody Blues, et all.

Friend me on Facebook, and see some of my shots with folks.

my best,
Jeffrey Weissman

I used to visit Bob and his wife Sodie (sp ?) at his old office on Seward St. - what a memorable guy! Sure wish I would have thought of getting an autograph...

Isn't it wonderful that all the useless knowledge we have stuck in our heads one day becomes useful? Excellent catch, Glen!

Engineer Bill didn't care that I was lactose-intolerant though.

I watched Engineer Bill and Sheriff John as much as I could, until the authorities made me go to school.

Thanks for the rare photos and scans of the LP. I'd say you and Edgar had some rare glimpses into the workings of Firesign. Hope you can contribute something to my new and improved Chromium Switch. == Best, Tom
