But I'd change the name from Papoon to McCain!

So the sound surrounded me.

This was long before "surround sound" or Dolby or any of the current technologies. I even had true quadrophonic albums, a quad turntable and a quad amp. Unfortunately Firesign was never produced in quad but the simulated version still worked great. "I Think We're All bozos on This Bus" was particularly effective.

Follow in your book and repeat after me as we learn our next three words in Turkish, coffee, delight, border. May I see your passport please?

(although considering the state we were generally in while listening to Firesign, it's amazing i can remember any of it)...
You don't want to count the elevator boy?
