I began working in radio in 1967, and I got turned on to Stan Freburg. He's just as funny now as he was back then. In later days, it was Firesign Theater. People don't understand just how funny Freburg was and is. He was the Ernie Kovacs of radio, and I'm so glad I got to hear his humor when I was a kid. You might say he warped my mind forever. Thanks, Stan.

the sounds of fireworks, tap dancing on dirt, and of automatic weapons fire during the battle of Yorktown, what a masterpiece.

Stan Freberg was a comedy genius. I remember seeing him on Sullivan with the alien in the flying saucer. And he is ad agency did the funny Chun King food commercials.

"The Unbritish Activities Committee". Pretty daring satric jab back in the day, since the HUAC was still in existence.

Of course, Franklin was a committed Patriot IRL and (I believe) attended the Second Continental Congress.

HotWax93 Was one of the three (with Jefferson and Adams) actually charged with assembling and editing the final version of the Declaration (physically put to parchment by Jefferson) to be voted on by the Second.

Funny thing, most of what 'Franklin' read in the skit, were changes BF made to Jefferson's original draft.

@@brianlbedsworth4105 Really? I didn't know that. You probably knew this already, but Franklin's son William was colonial governor of New Jersey during the Revolutionary War, and as such did not share his father's support for independence. IIRC, the elder Franklin actually wrote a letter to his son discussing their disagreements. But it just goes to show you that political divisions within families are hardly new and that even the Founding Fathers had them.
