So my same-age cousin who grew up on a hippie commune in Vermont was the FT fan, but I enjoyed/ was baffled by what he played of them, so I got my own albums at some point in the second half of the '80s. And I'm still somewhat baffled by them, although a little quicker to pick up on references to Steve Reeves and Agnes Moorehead. (And adding to the bizarreness more than a half century after this was recorded, the car customer wants to make the man on the radio's face "more orange.") From what I recall, there was usually a bunch of funny but incomprehensible shorter bits and then one stand-out longer sketch per album. So don't touch that dial, hand me the pliers.
