Once a week, eat mushrooms, drop something or other, smoke a bunch of weed....whatever, tune your TV to an old movie with the volume OFF, turn on KFML with the volume UP, and laugh your ass off.

Edit: I think I'm misremembering Firesign Theater as a movie parody troupe who called themselves High Street. No matter, the effect was the same.

Hearing them again just now, I get an idea of just how much effort was put into its production — it was no cakewalk, but it sure was fun on the downstream, listening end of it.

Thanks for the memories.
