Cease: Greetings
Cease: Always liked Little Feat.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hi Cease

Rufus_T_Firetween: Big fan of LF here
Rufus_T_Firetween: Yeah, that's a good one
Cease: Texas band, right?
Cease: Wasn't one of the Little Featers earlier in Zappa's band?

Rufus_T_Firetween: Little Feat - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Feat

Cease: They moved permanently to Fox Island not long before Phil died.
||||||||| Nick Danger sneaks in and whispers "Get the scuttlebutt on Box of Danger here, whatever that means..."
Cease: Hi Llan
llan: Hi Cat
Rufus_T_Firetween: llan is in one place two times
Rufus_T_Firetween: 'llan llan', is that like edmund edmund?
llan: I only left for a moment
Cease: I wonder if the move contributed to his death, in the sense that Fox Island is a lot further from a hosptial than where they lived in LA

Beet: Hi JAM
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hi Johan
Rufus_T_Firetween: ** Read about NOT INSANE OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO at >> https://firesigntheatrelegacy.com/media/media.php?item=ni-ln

Cease: Proctor posted this interview on Facebook today.
Cease: He talks about the evolution of this piece.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Will read this tomorrow. Thanks Cat!
Beet: That looks very interesting, Cease. Checking it out after chat.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Thanks Cat, I've been think about trying to get into that business myself
Rufus_T_Firetween: People keep telling me I have a good voice
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Take that Billy Shakespear!
Beet: Amazing soliloquey
||||||||| It's 9:25 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Not Joe - dead from measles
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Rufus_T_Firetween: Billy The Shake
Cease: also, in a recent facebook post after his hospitalization last week, he seems much more focussed, in the sense that the knowledge that you'll be hanged in the morning does tend to focus the mind. mark twain or someone like him.
||||||||| Chick Lambert fades in and says: "I have no idea who this Friedstein Theatre is, but they 're honing in on my territory over at Duke of Madness Motors. Give 'em the what for, Storm!" "RUFF! RUFF!"
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Biddily the Shakening
Cease: his play premiers in a few days, also.
Cease: with ed asner as god.
Cease: hope he lives long enough to see it.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Wow, that should be fun :)
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Actually Cease, that was written by a man who was guillottined the next morning, victim of the French Revolution
Rufus_T_Firetween: Live Long And Prosper, Mr. Phil...
Beet: Tireless worker.
Cease: twain is the easy ref. i was pretty sure it was someone else.
Cease: why is "homeland" now an acceptable term?
Cease: i love these mixes.
Cease: sets a higher bar for my collages.
Rufus_T_Firetween: As you have said, Not Insane is pretty much one big collage
||||||||| Chick Lambert fades in and says: "I have no idea who this Friedstein Theatre is, but they 're honing in on my territory over at Duke of Madness Motors. Give 'em the what for, Storm!" "RUFF! RUFF!"
Rufus_T_Firetween: would have loved to have been in the studio with them when they were recording
Cease: that it is, tween
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Homeland/fatherland/mother country all terms employed by those of a fascist persuasion to engender fear of others they define as enemies.
Cease: well said, jammy
Rufus_T_Firetween: Robin Williams made a comment about that
Cease: i vaguely recall that, tween
||||||||| Catherwood stops by and announces "While you bozos sit here in the Waiting Room, why not shop at the Firesale store?"
Rufus_T_Firetween: "Homeland Security? Sounds a bit like Fatherland, doesn't it?"
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Isn’t it odd that homeland security has produced homeland insecurity?
||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 9:37 PM, dragging cdfvgbhnjmktyui by one foot and asks "Can anyone vouch for this Firehead?"
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: do I need a new name every time I come in?
Rufus_T_Firetween: lol
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Hi CD!
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hi cdf
Cease: i think you can do better cd
Rufus_T_Firetween: It's llan
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : No, you can be the same each time, if you like. Then everybody can know who you are.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: ok
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: thought you would recognize me by the welsh phonetics
Beet: hello cdfv etc.
Cease: there are too few of us as is.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: there ya go
Rufus_T_Firetween: welsh phonetics are astoundingly confusing
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Lol Rufus!
Rufus_T_Firetween: You should get a message 'Nick already in use. Do wish to continue?' or somtheing like that
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: I watched a famous film noir for the first time a little earlier
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : I used a different name the first few times I was here. Pyramid Pachouli among some of the other names I used prior to settling on Johan
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: Detour. somehow I was not impressed
Cease: famous?
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: well it is well known
Cease: not my favourite genre
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: I found it rather predictable
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Maltese Falcon more my noir preference...
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: my favorite, JAM
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: I have seen that quite a few times
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : There was an early Kubrick noir, called, I think, just “Murder”
Cease: although my favourite flick, Paprika, owes a lot to raymond chandler
Beet: I have a faithful replica of the falcon. One of my favorite movies.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: I dont think so JAM, or I would recognize the title
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Big Sleep another fave, but I like Bogart.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: never heard of paprika
Cease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika_(2006_film)
||||||||| The TV flickers on, and Ralph Spoilsport appears: "How can you drive in two places at once when you don't have a genuine Ralph Spoilsport license plate frame? Get one for your car and one for the plate in your head!"
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : That Kubrick film was only about an hour long.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: I thought the big sleep was a little confusing
Beet: This is quite an album.
Cease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika_(2006_film)
Cease: yes, it is, beet
Cease: was it made for tv, jammy?
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: thanks for the link, cat
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Incomprehensible, some say. Illogical plot line, so many elements not explained nor resolved.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Still enjoy it, for some reason.
Cease: in his many, many interviews, proc always appologizes for this album. it was made at a chaotic time in their lives.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: ossman didnt like it either
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Another, He Walks Again By Night, with Richard Basehardt & Jack Webb
Cease: i dont think any of them liked it. it was more a contractual obligation
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: ossman said it hurt their career
Cease: but they kept tinkering with the shakespeare play for many years thereafter. good for them.
||||||||| Catherwood ushers JZak into the room, accepts three dimes as a gratuity, mutters something about 9:51 PM, then departs.
cdfvgbhnjmktyui: Hi Zak
Cease: i think it did too, cd.
JZak: Howdy!
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : JZ!
JZak: THAt's me!
Cease: they lost a lot of their momentum. if they'd followed bozos with eykiw or giant rat, i think they would have been much more successful
Cease: jz
Rufus_T_Firetween: ** Radio Free Dishnuts – http://dishnuts.net
JZak: MY shift key sticks.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hi JZ
Beet: It would be reakky great on acid
Beet: really
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Reet, beet!
Cease: the only firesign theatre album i heard on acid was Rollie Maidens. i was home from work with the measles.

||||||||| Bill Sprawl pokes his head in through the window and shouts "MARCHING TO SHIBBOLETH! Click to order!"
Cease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Said
Cease: as someone who writes plays and thus needs actors, it is hard for me to imagine phil's level of dedication to the acting profession.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Emphasizing the “otherness” of the east Asian culture, sounds like imperial fascism propaganda
||||||||| It's 10:10 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| JZak - dead from The Plague
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
Beet: It sounds like Phil was surrounded by all kinds of show biz types fron his early youth. Kind of second nature for him.
Cease: i lived in the orient for a long time. it's good to live elsewhere from where you're brought up, to gain perspective
Cease: true, beet
Cease: begman too. both had uncles in the Industry, as it is called in LA
Rufus_T_Firetween: I have to say it's been useful to live in different States with diverse cultures
Beet: What did his uncles do? Do you know/
Rufus_T_Firetween: so you don't get 'parochial'
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : True, dat, Cat! Absent travel, exposure to the cultures & writings without the nationalistic subscript.
Cease: proc's uncle worked with abott and costella on their tv show, among others. got phil lots of work. bergman's uncle wrote for the marx brothers.
Beet: cool
Cease: i am so happy when younger generation friends go an live in other countries for lengthy periods of time.
Rufus_T_Firetween: spent a summer crossing Canada after Expo '67, but it wasn't terribly different from the USA
Rufus_T_Firetween: Cancun, MX on the other hand was a different world
Cease: it forces you to see what you consider normal to not necessarily be so.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : I am an unapologetic Groucho Marxist!
Beet: I've had extended times in India and Philippines. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Rufus_T_Firetween: yy, a Grocho Marxist here also :)

Cease: domt know what do's dad did, but david mentions him going to work in his poems.
Rufus_T_Firetween: must have been incredibly difficult Cease, sorry :/
Cease: my overall point being, all were encouraged by family to become the firesign they became.
Cease: both bergman and proctor have many wonderful stories about their mothers on various firesign projects,
Beet: Let's thank their families also.
Cease: yes beet
Cease: this is ellison from his youtube channel. very good stuff.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Considering the active DISencouragement I received from my parents, I find I am almost jealous!
Cease: he has the best tales. ii'm workiong on a mix with him and firesign and it is hard to put together.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : Of FST’s situations
Beet: Since I was the youbgest kid, my folks didn't really pay much attention. That has its good and bad effects.
Cease: I was the only child, thus too much attention.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : I’m a middle child, with al it’s inherent baggage.

Rufus_T_Firetween: at was a great one
Rufus_T_Firetween: *that
Cease: its all i can do to keep up with phil's hilarious tales, and not make them less so.
Rufus_T_Firetween: Agnew was up to his arse in bribery allogations and they were about to have it
Rufus_T_Firetween: 'No Lo Contendre' is legalese for not contesting the charges
Cease: this is brilliant riffing.
