The EVERYMAN of the Firesign Theatre play "I THINK WE'RE ALL BOZOS ON THIS BUS". Also known as "UhClem" to the main computer in the FUTURE FAIR. The liner notes for "Bozos" quotes the following definition from "The Language of American Popular Entertainment":<BR/><BR/> "Clem: Its most common meaning is that of a general fight or riot<BR/> between town hoodlums who attack shows and the circus or carnival<BR/> employees. As an interjection, clem has replaces 'hey rube' as a<BR/> battle cry for a forthcoming fight.<BR/><BR/>In this case, Clem attacks the Future Fair main computer by inserting a gypsy program to confuse DOCTOR MEMORY, bringing the whole operation down. The FT in later skits apparently developed Clems motivation and story as follows (David OSSMAN writes):<BR/><BR/> "Clem, a shoeless computer programmer for the Fair, was fired after<BR/> he re-programmed the RALPH SPOILSPORT Speedway ride to 'Smoke Dope'<BR/> ie, slow down, free-associate, play. He has now re-entered the Fair<BR/> and broken into the maintenance circuits of DOCTOR MEMORY in order<BR/> to re-program it to 'forget the past'. As on the album, he succeeds<BR/> in confusing the good Dr. into contradictory on/off instructions<BR/> which sabotage the machine and destroy the fantastic illusions we<BR/> had taken for Reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9855336.post-1113272893557735332005-04-11T22:28:00.000-04:002005-04-11T22:28:00.000-04:00what is an uhclem?what is an uhclem?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9855336.post-1113253231053991622005-04-11T17:00:00.000-04:002005-04-11T17:00:00.000-04:00My art belongs to DadaZen mind...beginner's mind.F...<I> My art belongs to Dada</I><BR/><BR/>Zen mind...beginner's mind.<BR/><BR/>Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.<BR/><BR/>Madness takes its toll; please have exact change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9855336.post-1113240322743110492005-04-11T13:25:00.000-04:002005-04-11T13:25:00.000-04:00homophoney...you need to start a blog!homophoney...you need to start a blog!stef lenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585860827110221574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9855336.post-1113237800894244652005-04-11T12:43:00.000-04:002005-04-11T12:43:00.000-04:00random thoughts:self obLiterationis healthy YESsel...random thoughts:<BR/><BR/>self obLiteration<BR/>is healthy YES<BR/>selfLessness<BR/>in favor of Selfhood<BR/><BR/>"art of Self" akin to releasing mis-takes for_gives<BR/><BR/>self-heal<----->cell feel<BR/><BR/>where cell = prison, cage And/Or<BR/>smallest structural unit of an organism<BR/><BR/>bars are barriers to Self<BR/><BR/>once illuminated, the bars (misTakes) need to be Given or passed along like batons.<BR/><BR/>become monk-key bars<BR/><BR/>mitzvah: worthy deed <BR/>bar mitvah:<BR/>the good deeds that help you climb out of the cage you're in <BR/><BR/>je wish<BR/>I wish<BR/><BR/>invoking divine will of Self<BR/><BR/>you must completely destroy yourself before you can know what is available to give of yourSelf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
