17:20: A guy in a crowded space tries to draw attention to himself | |||
desperately, says he's going to kill a little girl and serve | |||
sandwiches made from her meat. | |||
23:50: Actors declaim random bits of Shakespeare and fake Shakespeare. | |||
Some comes from <i>Titus Andronicus</i>. | |||
24:30: A critic ([[David St. James]]?), addressing Joe, laments the | |||
separation of classical drama from normal life, is happy drama's being | |||
performed in public; the fake Shakespeare continues in the background. | |||
28: The guy desperate for attention is back, talking to a guy with a Yiddish | |||
accent who was jailed in his former country. | |||
30:30: The fake Shakespeare is back, the critic and Joe, too. | |||

with the accent worries about his heart. | |||

Woodstock.</ref> promotes Woodstock 2; others | |||

forest fire. | |||
47:10: Joe was riding on the IRT in Manhattan going uptown. He sat | |||
next to a blind man. When Joe identified a stop, intending to help | |||
him, the guy shouted, 'I'm not dead!'<ref>This story is repeated in [[Joe Frank In Concert]]</ref> | |||
48: Joe tells us about his next door neighbors: a couple with 4 | |||

repeatedly. | |||
49:50: Joe tells us about Houdini, the ultimate protester. | |||
50:40: Joe tells the 'old story' about a blind man who carries a | |||
cripple on his back. | |||

that we listen to him; he says other random things. | |||
53:40: The guy on the beach with the reflector and gun is back, shows | |||
