REVIEWS I FOUND BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT
Top customer reviews
Like many other reviewers, I owned an LP version of Everything you Know is Wrong. I memorized it, listening to it under the influence of various substances. Even today, the words can activate neuro-receptors deep in a 54 year old brain and produce a mild buzz. And it's multi-leveled humor is still so relevant and ironic today. I am a fan of Whitley Strieber's Dreamland netcasts, but he sounds so much like Happy Harry Cox broadcasting from the nudist trailer court in 1974 that I have to laugh.Touching on everything you know (is wrong) about alien visitation, New Age mysticism, incidental sendups of children's public television, and the exploits of well-known hucksters like stuntman "Rebus Kniebus" who promotes his jump over The Big Ditch; including a Ewell Gibbons-style "naturalist" who recommends eating snow tires "many parts are edible" and a poison oak tea; and a smarmy Swiss travel show host who visits an Indian reservation - actually an alien outpost "where they've been living peaceably since 1959" - on his way down the muddy Colorado.
One of the very best comedy albums of all time. The Theater lampoons new agers, UFO conspiracy theorists, the media, and the military hilariously. Not only is the main plot unforgettable humor, but the sub-plots are also great. Do yourself a favor and memorize these skits
