We call it Paranoid Overtones to hint that the show is not really paranoid, but only suggests things we might want to feel threatened by, or things that we all feel a little threatened by. “We live in a political world,” Dylan sings, “Wisdom is thrown into jail.” Uh-oh. And the Kinks tell us “There ain’t no cure for acute schizophrenia disease.” A big dose of Mothers of Invention’s We’re Only in It for the Money and the Firesign Theatre. And several other interesting things, of course – just what you expect, isn’t it? So come along. You’re invited to attend, and we’ll see you there, just a click away!
Oh Mercy (Bob Dylan, “Political World”)
Muswell Hillbillies (Kinks, “Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues”)
We’re Only in It for the Money (Mothers of Invention, “Are you hung up?” etc.)
Sail Away (Randy Newman, “Political Science”)
Waiting for the Electrician Or Someone Like Him (The Firesign Theatre)
I’m Your Man (Leonard Cohen, “Everybody Knows”)
Lola Vs Powerman & The Moneyground (Kinks, “Got to Be Free”)
