The Firesign Theatre - I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus album flac

I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus (1971). This was The Firesign Theatre's first album wherein a single theme took up both sides of the album. In Phil Austin's notes to the 1987 Mobile Fidelity re-release of this album he says "Dwarf is the story of the five ages of Man and in particular, the five ages of one George Leroy Tirebiter; a man named after a dog". The piece centers on the character of Tirebiter (played by David Ossman), a former child actor who spends his time watching himself on late-night television.

Picking up exactly where Don't Crush That Dwarf left off (with the sound of an ice cream truck), I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus isn't so much a revelation as its predecessor. This is another concept album, this time about technology, the future, and humanity's place in the equation. There are less obvious laughs this time out, and the album really needs repeated listens to begin to make any sense of it (indeed, in the Mobile Fidelity reissue, two of the members of the group contribute essays in an attempt to make it less incomprehensible). Still, there are some really.

You're asking ME to rate "I think we're all bozos on this bus"? You might as well ask "Why does the porridge bird lay its eggs in the air?" Many busy executives ask me, "What about the job displacement market program in the city of the future?" Well count on us to be there, JIM, because if we're lucky tomorrow we won't have to deal with questions like yours ever again. Starting in the late 60's the Firesign Theatre foursome started their offbeat humor on California radio. Bozos" was the fourth album they produced and arguably the second most humorous at this point. Only "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers" could be considered funnier. Bozos" presented a harder line with social satire, and an incredibly dense layer of comedy. The first four CD's should give you a good start into the band's form of humor, at a good price.

As Austin looked back on this period, he wrote in September 1993 that he saw Proctor and Bergman wanting to take the Firesign Theatre in a different direction than he did, moving away from intensely written albums released one per year, to more live performances with lighter material. Proctor and Bergman turned their attention to producing a live show, What This Country

The fourth comedy recording made by The Firesign Theatre, released in 1971. Clem, boards the bus and takes an open seat next to one of many bozos on the bus, such as his future companion Barney. The bus soon resumes its journey and proceeds to its final destination: the Future Fair, a free World's Fair-like exhibit comparing the past and future. Once there, Clem joins other tourists in various interactive exhibits, which finally lead to the "President of the United States", a computer given a voice reminiscent of then-President Richard Nixon
