Cease: good for you, jam
Beet: I will take FST into the afterlife
DJTweeny: Part of our generation's culture
Cease: i think the firesign is a kind of afterlife
Cease: there is a lot of hiss on this.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : I have wondered what a generation 50 or 60 years hence will make of FST.
DJTweeny: Some of the cultural references may be lost
DJTweeny: but maybe Panoramaland 2000 will be their reality by then ;)
Beet: Analbum like Bozos is pretty Cosmic without many cultural references.

Cease: twin grand daughters are 11 and way smart. maybe soon
Johan Amadeus Myjetski : The by then obscure cultural references will be of interest to the historians, giving an insight into the reality of their ‘history ‘, not just what made it into the ebooks.
DJTweeny: Maybe start with Shoes For Industry, since the material is generally easy to understand?
Cease: the said grand daughters have already played proctor and bergman during the golden dragon massacre in my play CAST

Beet: Great city
DJTweeny: Been thinking of going over to Google since it's only $70/unlimited, and includes a land line and lots of cloud storage.
