Memories of Market Street, (c) Rob Goldstein 2020
The Incubus
Lethal deceptions deployed with precision.
Manipulation without
contempt
is submission.
Rob Goldstein 2019
kneel into
self
as thick as
quicksand
or time
as short as
life
this mind: fritz!
still soft
words
then,
dreams of me
on the young
streets
at dusk,
reaching
for night.

I am taking a blogging break to work on a project.
I’ll be back at the end of September.
In the meantime, enjoy some forgotten greatness.
The Firesign Theater is best known for its biting and complex social commentary.
The group mixed the conventions of radio drama with the recording and writing techniques of The Beatles.
The result was rich multilayered surrealist satire.
“Animals without backbones hid from each other or fell down. Clamasaurs and Oysterettes appeared as appetizers. Then came the sponges which sucked up about ten percent of all life. Hundreds of years later, in the Late Devouring Period, fish became obnoxious.
Trailerbites, chiggerbites, and mosquitoes collided aimlessly in the dense gas. Finally, tiny edible plants sprang up in rows giving birth to generations of insecticides and other small dying creatures. “

The group’s most successful album is “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers.”
Released in 1970, “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers,” is the story of George Leroy Tirebiter who lives in a world under martial law. Tirebiter is a former child actor who spends his time watching himself on late-night movies, a staple of broadcast television in the 1960’s.
Rolling Stone calls it the greatest comedy record ever made.
