As the intro to Nazz's "Open My Eyes" played, I said on my answering machine announcement, "We're wandering around aimlessly in a circular room with no known exit. When we eventually find a means of escape, we're going to a place where the word bureaucracy does not exist..."
I still think "Open My Eyes" was the best song I could have chosen to support those statements. It also elicited several comments from callers, including a woman who said, "Like, totally psychedelic," and a solicitor who said, "This is (so-and-so) from yet another bureaucracy, the American Red Cross..."
I always appreciated it when callers played along that way.
