[joe-frank-list] 'The road to hell'

[rbell at alumni.caltech.edu]

	Train sounds.
	0:50: A paean to the hobo, the first few seconds of Country
Joe McDonald's 'Hold On It's Coming' repeating in the background - 'Oh
midnight special, I ride the rods a hobo...'
	7:30: 'I jump off the train in Wildermere.(sp?)'  Joe
describes the small town where he jumps off the train.
	10:00: Joe describes a scene in a ski lodge.  He inscribes an
attractive woman's cast, 'Regret not the momentary impulse.'
	11:50: He describes how he likes to sleep in a cold room.  A
woman comes in.  He speculates about what she's wearing.  He compares
the shape of her body to the architecture of our nation's governance,
including the 'Articles of Confabulation' and other parody documents.
	15:00: He recommends things to do, including replacing that
broken pane of glass... and flossing.
	18:00: Christmas in New York, 'Carolers standing beneath the
street lamp', the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, midnight mass
at St Pat's...
	22:10: Joe describes a New Year's Eve party, which gets wild.
Miracles happen.  Someone smothers to death underneath the jackets
thrown on the bed.
	28:50: A class, run by a fellow named Rottweiler.  Joe gets so
bored he carves his initials in the shoulder blades of the person
sitting in front of him.  The class turns out to be a meeting of
people who perpetrate disruptive acts upon the public: subliminal
messages in movies, on blimps, banners, 'radical wandering yodelers',
hallucinogens in room fresheners, flammable substances in fire
extinguishers, shaving creams that cause hair to grow uncontrollably,
powerful emetics, diuretics, and laxatives into coffee-cart coffee,
paranoia-inducing substances in public-toilet paper dispensers.  Joe
describes how people react to these, especially the hallucinogens.
	39:50: Joe unwinds a long list: 'lite beer, lite cheese, lite
meat, lite baked goods... a bank of television monitors enabling you
to see who is approaching along the driveway... the seaplane that
takes you to Southampton... the ex-Vietnam veteran karate-expert
chauffeur who lives in the apartment above the
garage... cigar-smoking, brandy-quaffing men in the library discuss
the humor of high finance around a great crackling blaze in the
Southern California night... henless eggs, decaffeinated cocaine'
	47:30 Joe tells us how much he likes the life he's
leading, repeatedly, for about a minute.
	49:40: Joe describes an enormous mall that sells everything.
It has apartments beneath it, in which one can experience foreign
environments, including contracting malaria and parasitic infestations
from the Brazilian rainforest.
