I Felt A Great Disturbance In The Farce….

A great sadness is upon us today, from somewhere other than the Republican party for a change. In a related sense, I suppose that thanks should go out to the crushed dwarf known as Mitt Romney, whose campaign tour answers the question, “How can you be in two places at once when you’re not anywhere at all?”.

Peter Bergman, sadly not the soap star from “The young and the restless”, but the guy that was one of the founders of the Firesign Theatre, has passed away.
Long ago, possibly in the back seat of a Ford Galaxy far far away?
Peter (on the right above with Phil Proctor, Dave Ossman, and Phil Austin from left to right, sort of) was a great source of inspiration for all that I find sacred, which now that I think about it, is pretty much nothing at all.
In living color, umm, well at least 3 of them still are

Sad news indeed. I was still stuck on “Boss Radio, 93 KHJ with the Real Don Steele”! FM Radio was some sort of Commie plot-
Thank the universe for vinyl recordings and cassette tapes as my “turn on, tune in, drop out” days weren’t ’til 1974-75ish.
As a commenter to the Times said, maybe now he can be in two places at once while not being anywhere at all.
