And if ole snake-oil Willy Burroughs could actually get away with saying that the scene in Naked Lunch where Mary hangs Johnny while balling so as to enjoy the death spasms was actually "written as a tract against Capital Punishment in the manner of Jonathon Swift's Modest Proposal ," then I guess Alice could cop to the same kind of Symbolic Social Import here, as well as Artaud's "victims signaling through the flames." But yer gonna have to stretch your protractors a bit to chart the deep import in the grand climax, where Alice swings an arclamp around on it's cord, the beam splashing through the audience, and the band pushes everything up to the screaming ceiling as Mike Bruce dons a gasmask and runs wildly across stage blasting away with a compressed air tank on full-force as Alice shakes pillows slit on one end and a thick storm of feathers fill the air creating total pandemonium, settling in the scalps and eyes of the first dozen rows and on the footlights to burn with a stench reminiscent of unspeakable Beelzebub cookeries in mossy glades of the Dark Ages or at least the smokepots the Iron Butterfly used to employ to give their act a little mystik klass
