Subject: Brave New Bozo

I am a high school senior Firehead, and our AP English class is currently reading Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, a vision of a future dystopia where efficiency is ruler, a caste system pacifies, and any unhappiness can be eliminated with a few grammes of a drug called soma.

Has anyone else read this book and noticed similarites between it and the Bozos album? From the tiniest things (the word Holygrams is pronounced "holy grammes") to the big picture ("Fighting's out of style"). There even seems to be a parallel between Huxley's Alpha-Beta-Gamma-Delta-Epsilon progression and the Firesign Berzerker-Zip-Bozo-Boogie-Beaner progression.

I'd like to be an English major. I come up with all the unanswerable questions. Why does the porridge bird, etc.
