...Boeing 707, a proud and beautiful lady who has seen a lot of history, rolled up to the ramp. Spotlights played on the Presidential Seal, but there was a faint feeling of anticlimax.

The concert was like a childhood Saturday spent with the strange little boy down the block. Kaufman takes skits out for random amusement like a kid pulling old toys from a chest...
