everyone seems to live in Conformville, in the state of Conforming, in the country of Conformia, spending most of their time down at the Conform-Arama. on one level the scariest movie i ever saw was the 3 versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, because pods replace people in them, and it’s coming true here now – pods walk the earth, make pod tv shows for more pods, wear pod unit clothes, eat pod unit food units, acquire pod units of pod sameness. Alice Cooper sang in Clones (We’re All) “I just want to be myself be myself be myself be myself.”
i got stoned with Alice Cooper at a baltimore radio station back in 1973… him and Flo & Eddy who recorded as Phospherescent Leech and Eddy with Frank Zappa due to record contract hassles (they were the important half of The Turtles). Alice was a wee bit surly, but Flo & Eddy were a delight to be around. as i left the radio station (without my Alice Cooper review for the newspaper), the parking lot was filled with screaming teenyboppers – one of them ran up to me and breathlessly asked “are you somebody?” sad to say i had to say “no, i’m nobody.” now i am somebody – but few know.
haven’t quite found our guests yet, though we did have cyber mail contact yesterday, so they’re not technically lost… just misplaced.
our guests arrived.
