The prospect of finding pleasure tomorrow will never compensate for today‘s boredom.

There are two types of peope in this world, those who do a large amount of acid and then stay in a controlled environment to avoid sensory overload; and those who do a large amount of acid and then run shouting a primal roar of exuburance into the night, as they ride in the upraised tray of a tractor that is travelling faster than any heavy equipment ever should, piloted by a raging alcoholic who would eventually pass out behind the wheel, towards a bonfire that is more chemical in nature than organic and flames that seem to engulf the stars themselves while a misting rain merges with the light creating a diaphanous shroud of light and a rain of ash flitters and whirls with an air of accidental magic, laughing at the folly of gravity.

Either type will enjoy this.

This is probably one of the most finely produced-audio play's i've ever heard, and the acting is very strong. It perfectly captures the rising cresendo of madness and sense of panic that trippers the world over know and love. Now i have a question for the readers, i'm %90 certain that Harry Shearer does some background voices, one of the reporters sounds exactly like Otto from the Simpsons. If someone could confirm or deny my suspicions it would be appreciated.
