firesign theater!
excellent.
it's ok, he's speaking chinese...
but what i remember (without watching the clips yet)
los angeles, he walks again by night. out of the fog, into the smog. relentlessly. ruthlessly (i wonder where ruth is..) doggedly (barking, of course) to his weekly meeting with....the unknown. at fourth an drucker (?) he turns right, at drucker and fourth he turns left, rounds the corner and walks into a great sandstone building (my nose....) groping for the door, he climbs the thirteen steps to his office.
he's ready for action
he's ready for adventure
he's ready for anything
he's...
"hello, nick danger" (a phone's been wringing since he began climbing you see)
"hello, is this charlies pizza? id like a pizza with no anchovies to go"
"anchovies? you've got the wrong man. i spell my name...danger..."
a swell of organ music...
o yeah, and
"where's the fire?"
"in your eyes,. bradshaw"
i love this stuff.
but i havent heard it for years.
why do i remember this?
