#del close

This is from an old record that was set up as an informative and educational aid to learn about the american alternative hipster community and lingo. It was a joke, a comedy record, and the beatnik “Geets Romo” is played by actual hipster and improv pioneer Del Close. And I’m always amazed at how on-target the whole thing is. This track, which is about paranoia, is something that’s actually happened to me. This was not something americans were hearing in 1961, it was like taking an audio safari into this strange alien culture

House-ad for Wasteland (1987), an anthology-style horror comic written by Del Close and John Ostrander.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
