...reconstructed from the accounts of Buttfucks who were present, the affair seems to have been a kind of spiritual occasion. It was heavily advertised in advance by posters bearing the words "BUTTFUCK '74" and a picture of Yo Mo Dobro Jo, billed as a 19 year-old perfect asshole; beneath Yo Mo Dobro Jo, who was seated in something like a lotus position, was the inscription "Hum Tits to Yo Mo Dobro Jo." The poster aroused the ire of local residents and administrators but, a Buttfuck says, "we persuaded them that it would only be a nice, fun, kinky party...
What actually happened in the Ezra Stiles College dining room on that evening last year is difficult to say with any certainly, partly because virtually all of the witnesses perceived the event with the assistance of psychedelic drugs. A few things are clear: that Yo Mo Dobro Jo was borne in upon a toilet seat clutching aloft in his right hand a dildo, and in his left some other spiritual object; that beer and spumoni were served, as symbols of the blood and body of the guest of honor; that after the intonation of some godly words, symbolic meatballs were...

...second side comprises a set of older songs, the most interesting of which is a rendition of "Frankie and Johnny," a chance for Doc, Merle, Vassar Clements, and dobro player Norman Blake to show off on brief solos. Again, in this set, the punctuation of the music with brief bursts from Clement's fiddle or from Doc's harmonica is often enough to make simple music interesting. The rest of the songs, though bright, energetic, and pleasant to listen to are less invigorating; they are so standard that they elicit no subtle vocal interpretation...
