It appears to me that a character who could be and probably is "the electrician or someone like him" has a cameo appearance on the third album, when on the religious TV show they can't get the organ going, and he walks up and says "I don't know why you people think this is magic; it's just this little chromium switch over here", flips the switch (organ starts working properly, applause), and walks away muttering "you people are _so_ superstitious ...

Good catch; I never thought of that before. BTW, has anyone constructed a userbox that says "This person is waiting for the electrician or someone like him." ? – Wdfarmer (talk) 01:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And, of course, there is a villain named "The Electrician" on the Firesigns' 1974 album The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra. PurpleChez (talk) 13:55, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Temporarily Humboldt County[edit]

Loved reading the explanation of the name "Temporarily Humboldt County." I'd assumed that is was a parody of a Bob Dylan-style title... Temporarily Like Achilles...
