Regrooving involves using Psychedelics and Brainwashing to Change the Worldview of Corporate-Corporate Greed Freaks to become more "Groovy." MIGHT WORK! Take for example the People that Made Oxycontin... They now plan to settle with consumers and the surviving relatives of people who died by paying $12 Billion Dollars in Damages. Well, why did they continue to promote their drug after it was OBVIOUS that people were dying? 400,000 People... In Comparison: 58,000 People Died in the Vietnam War... So the Opioid Crisis is as Bad as 6 Vietnam Wars... Answer: They Were Addicted to Profit...

"Temporarily Humboldt County"
The first section runs 9 min 14 sec, and satirizes the displacement of the American Indians (David Ossman and Phil Austin), first by Spanish conquistadors, then by American frontiersmen, and finally by the US government forcing them onto a reservation, which it uses as a "cobalt testing range". The title comes from friends of the Firesign Theatre telling them that the local Indians in Humboldt County, California added "temporarily" to the name as a way of saying no one could really own the land. The section ends with a bomb explosion, followed by the sound of wind blowing.
"W. C. Fields Forever"
This 7 min 39 sec track continuously segues as the Indians wander silently through the desert and come upon Peter Bergman welcoming them to the "Lazy Ol' Magic Circle Dudes Ranch and Collective Love Farm", a hippie commune. The commune's spiritual leader, the perpetually drunk/stoned "Tiny Doctor Tim" (Proctor), is a parody of Timothy Leary. Philip Proctor's impersonation of W. C. Fields actually appeared on the first track, dedicating the cobalt testing range; this track title parodies the Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever".
"Le Trente-Huit Cunegonde"
This 7 min 19 sec track continuously segues into a future world in which the 1960s hippie counterculture has now replaced the mainstream cultural establishment. Police (Proctor and Bergman) patrol searching for "non-groovy" people not in possession of drugs, such as a grandmother (Austin) whom they arrest to be "returned for re-grooving". A teenager named Malcolm X John Lennon (Austin) is still being breast-fed by his mother (Proctor), and gets in trouble with his school principal (Proctor) for studying instead of hanging out and "relating" with his peers by smoking marijuana. A US senator who sounds like Robert Kennedy (Proctor) chairs a committee which also returns people for re-grooving, and the "Secretary of Peace" (Ossman) directs bomber aircraft to drop copies of Naked Lunch on Nigeria.
Side two: "Waiting for The Electrician or Someone Like Him" [1]
This single, 17 min 48 sec track begins as a Turkish language instruction record, and immediately follows its listener on a Kafkaesque trip overseas. An unnamed innocent (Austin) is manipulated by mysterious strangers and authority figures into situations beyond his control. (In the written script, the character is called simply "P." for Phil, a reference to Kafka's use of "K." in The Castle.)
A highlight of side two is the "Beat the Reaper" sketch, a mock game show in which the contestant (Austin) is injected with a disease and must guess what it is in order to win the antidote; if the contestant fails to self-diagnose, he is sent home with the disease. and Dies!
