I haven't seen a post here on the passing of Peter Bergman, one of the founders of Firesign Theater, on Friday. I was not well acquainted with Bergman himself, but I do know that his radio show was where the Firesign was born.
For anybody interested in vinyl, the Firesign Theater was a group that really pushed the limits of what was possible. Just listen to the road signs whooshing by in "How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All?" Or the line ""Why don't you pull your mukluks out of the cellophane before they scorch?" in Nick Danger. A lot of people in my generation could recite whole sides of the first three Firesign albums. Peter and his friends were artists who could combine high and low humor (no pun intended--their work was not just for stoners). In practically every minute, you got silly jokes and pointed history lessons.
So thank you, Peter Bergman for taking us Forward into the Past.
