Recess from Eternity
Hunter S. Thompson summons the devils of Adolf Hitler, Ayn Rand and Crazy Horse from an American baseball game in hell for a listening party at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. There eating crab cakes are Andrew Jackson and Theodore Roosevelt. The album to be listened to is Eric in Outerspace LP titled ‘Later Days’. Before the party begins GK Chesterton and Winston Churchill come through the door after spending the afternoon playing bridge.
GKC: what a crowd!
AR: you are right on time.
TDR: have a crab cake and a cigar
