RIP Phil Austin of The Firesign Theatre

Passed earlier this week. Now there are only David Ossman and Phil Proctor left.

These guys changed my whole worldview; no exaggeration.

Stop torturing me, Ethel.

Albums to grow up by, '68, '69','70, '71 - I was in my early 20's and those albums are about the only thing I remember.

As an Alum of More Science High, I'm sure I speak for George Leroy Tyrebiter as well when I say he will be sorely missed. And I'm still Waiting for the Electrician, or Someone Like Him.  :(

The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra 1974......This was my first exposure to the Firesign Theater. I no longer recall how I stumbled upon the album, but I listened to it many times. Good fun!

RIP....

Bozos across the Universe are in mourning today.

"What a shocker this is! Hemlock Stones, that dynamo of detective energy, has switched a new light on current events, sparking the positive hope that he'll run the negative force to ground! Wow"
