Nowadays - in a different era - we easily laugh at this stuff and at
the polystyrene scraping ( a much more jokey, Cagey thing anyway)?. I'm
not so sure we would have been so easily laughing back then.
I remember going to a 'Fires of London' concert some decades ago, and
laughing at what I was sure was intended to be funny - I was severely
censured by hisses from the afficionados around me...
