Synopsis

A hypnotist, a woman, instructs the listener to relax, think his/her limbs limp.

2: A man (Lester Nafzger?) calls an older woman, asks for Coco. He identifies himself as Joe Frank. Coco isn't in.

3: A man (Arthur Miller?) sings 'Make Love to Me' accompanied by ukulele(?).

5:10: A man and woman yell, as though threatened (it's indistinct). There are sounds that could be a monster, could be alarms. It sounds like a movie.

6:10: A street preacher tells people they need spiritual change, not political change; the crowd jeers him.

8:30: The director of River Valley camp (Arthur Miller?), a sadistic summer camp for boys in the Brazilian Amazon, describes the camp to Joe while showing slides. It's protected by a long stretch of barren land, then 'electronic' barbed wire, and a 200-foot gate. The rifle, archery, and blow-gun ranges use the boys as targets. He calls pain 'deeper understanding'.

14:10: A street preacher enjoins his listeners to chant, 'Hare Krishna'. The River Valley director's voice can be made out in the background.

15:40: The River Valley director shows slides of 'fun night' - Joe observes that they don't seem to be having fun. Staff get to experiment on the campers.

The director describes visitors' day, during which the parents can't see the children and vice-versa. Letters between campers and parents are disposed of.

23:40: A man calls an older woman, asks for Coco. He identifies himself as Joe Frank. Coco isn't in. She's in England.

24:40: A man (Arthur Miller?) sings 'There Will Never Be Another You' accompanied by ukulele(?).

26:10: A man and woman yell, as though threatened (it's indistinct). There are sounds that could be a monster, could be alarms.

27: A woman (Tess Steincolk) describes her mother punishing her and her sister (Jeannie), then the mother tells them she's selling them to the gypsies. She takes them on their usual summer vacation to her sister's instead, but only after scaring them.

34: Bill West's 'The spirit cannot fail you'.

35:30: A preacher tells us how terrible things are, that god's coming back.

38:50: 'I was born in South Dakota at the age of 4...' A man (Lester Nafzger?) recounts impossible and conflicting versions of his life, all involving Mt Rushmore.

41:30: The Christian street preacher is back, talking with the crowd.

45:50: An old Jewish man visits his son, who confesses that he has converted to Christianity.

48: 'I go to church I like to sprinkle two piles of broken glass molten ashes thumbtacks and carpet passes on the floor and kneel down on them for hours' A guy tells us what he does in church.

51: The naughty yogi falls for the hippie girls with 'big boobies'.

51:40: Ryan Cutrona tells us all the things he's seen god in.

53:30: Larry calls Joe, tells him how disappointed he is in his shows lately, particularly this last bit.
