A camp counselor introduced a bunch of us to "Nick Danger" one summer back in the '70's, and it was instant infatuation for me. I bought all of their albums I could find and listened to them all the time. No drugs involved at all, on my side at least. Their love of language play, political stances, satire and parody, and obvious skill and love of what they did made Firesign Theater amazing.

FT is great even without drugs, but while high I found them even more hilarious, the sensory aspects of their performance were way more effective at transporting me in to the worlds they were conjuring up, and I felt I made a lot more connections in the many references they were making.

Pot has often had a similar effect for me with other comedies, but the multisensory, multi-level nature of Firesign Theater brings the whole experience to another level that's rarely been matched by anything else.
