[edit] WOWIE ZOWIE

Hock your eyeteeth to hear this one. http://www.firesigntheatre.com/albums/album.php?album=bozos —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moses Weintraub (talk • contribs) 11:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fare??

A line quoted about the Future Fair is given as "a fair for all and no fare to anybody", meaning free.

I'd always believed it was "...and no fair to anybody" - as in "not fair to anyone" rendered in childish style. This may sound a little clunky - but then so does the form "no fare to anybody": if it were referring to a charge, it would be "for anybody" (or from), surely?

The "no fair" form seems to me to be (more) in keeping with the Firesign mindset - a hint that the celebrations may not be as much fun as they sound.

Then again, I'll grant that describing the fair as free is more appropriate in a public announcement. Does anyone have an insight here?

A tiny point, I admit, and my apologies for bringing it up. The synopsis was so well written that this bit jarred with me. I have the CD, and I'll have a listen and see if I can find any clues. --Cdavis999 13:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. Just had a listen, and the line is followed by "Yes, it's free!", which pretty much nails down the 'Fare' aspect. I've segued into a belief that FT intended it to be ambiguous - which may be a point along the path to my dropping my original idea entirely... --Cdavis999 14:14, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
