Tessa: Used to sit around and get high and listen to the records :)
Not Ed the 2nd: cool Tessa
Tessa: I think about kids these days... they think memes are funny. we have Firesign.
Cat: Sounds nostalgic.
Cat: Well said.
J_Man_Actual: Train!
Tessa: They figured out how many decades ago that life is one big fucking meme?
J_Man_Actual: Memes don't get included in the Smithsonian.
Koyemsi: Not yet, just give them time
Cat: they put their intelligence to the best possible use and we all benefit from that.
Not Ed the 2nd: Firesign is too hard for them, also few get the references because the past is not valued--corporations have replaced the past with stuff stuff stuff
Cat: "too hard for them" discounts the capacity of the curious young.
Tessa: And how great Firesign was at being so funny, but they didn't hurt people, maybe mocked a few that deserved mocking, but they ere witty, not mean.
Tessa: Still funny!
Not Ed the 2nd: there will always be bright and together kids with curiosity - but overall the culture is corporate
Cat: i think it was when he was visitng chat, phil austin complained that too much comedy was about meaness
Koyemsi: I dunno. I'm 35, a second-generation Firesign fan. Listening to the Dear Friends shows, I've been able to use Google to locate many of their references
Koyemsi: And many of their found materials, too
Cat: good for you, koy.
Not Ed the 2nd: Cool Koy
Cat: we once had a teenager who was a regular here.
J_Man_Actual: It's not even the refrences... it's the language. A lot of what FST does is wordplay, but more recent generations don't put as much focus on learning the language.
Not Ed the 2nd: good point up there Tessa
Not Ed the 2nd: likewise J
