Firesign Theater c. 1971 Yuck, yuck, yuck! http://www.firesigntheatre.com/albums/album.php?album=bozos

How About the Gonzo Dog Doo Dah Band? or The early Mothers' of Invention?

I have that record. THE GIANT RAT OF SUMATRA, and NICK DANGER, THIRD EYE too.

I love the Procter And Bergman album with "Saturday Night Gunmart" and "What Did That Man Say?" on it.

The P&B album also had a hilarious parody of Ricardo Montalban's old Cordoba ("Corinthian leather") automobile commercial called "Carumba".

I've got some old "Radio Free Oz" stuff on reel-to-reel.
They (Firesign) did a smashing reading of a Winnie The Pooh story. Great voices, sounds, and very sensitive and faithful to Milne's intentions I thought. Unusual for them not to have parodied or made fun.

By the way, have any of you Angelinos made the pilgrimage to the famous Laurel & Hardy flight of steps?
On Vendome is it?
Going there, or visiting my son at USC (though he's home on Spring break now), or hearing Ray speak are the only reasons I can think of for going to the L.A. area, now that Belisles is closed!

I used to ride my bike all over Placentia and Yorba Linda late at night stealing hood ornaments off caddies and such, I'm probably karmatically paying for that to this day.

Grassiela,

Thanks for sharing, I wish I had ran into you while out there. You sound like an all american girl out for good ol' clean fun, unless that is, your a man. In which case, you'd be an all american boy, oh hell, you get the drift. Speaking of Brea Mall, do they still have Orange Julius ? I used to love those. B-two, you seem more like a Bolo than a Bozo. Step away from the bus with your hands up.

So, what about those famous steps?

The twelve? O'Douls is alchohol free. If I'm reading your meaning about steps right.

No, no no. See my post above. I'm referring to the Laurel & Hardy steps. They figure in at least two Bradbury tales, you know.

Oh, okay. I thought you were referring to an earlier post I made about drinking O'Douls today. Thanks, hope you have a great Saint Patricks Day.

Now it appears the old (NEW) Bradbury board works NOT...and the OLD board (this one) seems to be the one working... Hmm!!!

Yes, very perplexing. I think sometimes I'm tempting fate by keeping up use on these boards but somehow I'm always compelled to take a curious peek. As Chapter mentioned, Ray could write a story about it.
