  • THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1976 THE WESTERN CAROLJNIAN TEENAGE WASTE LAND by Greg Teetsell Consternation and Resentment In Summer School: White, Middle-Class and Don't Want No Summer Job. Parti by Vegomatic Blank My Attorney rolled over and said that it was my turn to cook breakfast. It couldn't be, I'd been up all night working on the most profound story of my life. An up-date of Kafka's Metamorphosis wherein the central character, instead of turning into a cockroach, becomes a 1964 Volkswagen with a dented front left fender. My attorney was growing restless, she threatened to pour all of my tequila down the sink and take my valium away for a week. It was obviously my turn to cook breakfast. Later, I ventured into C-town for the post and to catch a class. Nothing new except for a flat rejection from Playboy about a short story I wrote about a bass player who performs cunnilingus with store dummies. Man, it's getting bad. Hustler rejected the same story two weeks ago. Maybe it's the ending where the termites get his teeth. Oh well. But I did recieve a grand letter from the people at EST (Erherd Seminar Training, you know, the folks people pay to be told that they're worthless swine) which read as follows: "Greetings, you selfish, abusive, useless dog. So you wish to attend one of our sessions? YOU MUST GET ON YOUR KNEES AND BEG LIKE THE FILTH THAT YOU ARE AND HOPE I'LL FIND IT IN MY HEART TO TAKE YOUR $220 CERTIFIED CHECK OR CASH ONLY FOR MY NEXT..." My attorney did not find Mr. Erhard the least bit amusing. Then suddenly, like voices from a heavenly choir: I took a ride, I was alone, I didn't know what I would find there... After ten years, I think that I am losing my mind. My attorney calls to me, "Is that the..." "Beatles", I scream. On radio, in Sylva, more popular than Jesus, I buried Paul, LSD, they are back... No. Not for the blank generation. Even the blankest of us can still dream. Summertime, the stuff that romance is made of. And now, with all the blankness in our souls, even though this maybe the last time, maybe the last time, I don't know; we are the blank generation. "Soon Cream singles will back" says my attorney. She takes another bit of the gourmet pinto beans and leftover spinach from the previous evening's meal. She is right. While nothing new actually happened in the sixties, virtually nothing, save the death of a few pop stars and the publication of Gravity's Rainbow, has happened in the last six years. The Blank Ones. Yeah, you know, tequila is dynamite for breakfast. i '"s3fe I K*ailP ilM^xy far-C^i ff fa"1 ■7 ■*' M w> .~*> The Rhymes With Reasons will present a progam of music, puppetry, and drama at 8 p.m. Wednesday. The show will be at the Wesley Foundation and will be sponsored jointly by the Babtist Student Union and the Foundation. 'CB' plans Highlands Theater The Broadway comedy hit Ready When You Are, C.B. is now on stage at Highlands Playhouse, July 2 through July 11, as the first presentation of the 38th summer theater season. This wryly humorous comedy by Susan Slade tells the story of a glamorous movie star needing a temporary hide-out and finding refuge in the apartment of an ugly duckling. He's a spend-thrift, she's a penny-pincher, and the sparks fly. Adding to the comic plot is a mother, a best friend, and a zany actress. Ready When You Are, C.B. performances are at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and at 2:30 p.m. July 4 and 11. Highlands Playhouse is located at the intersection of Routes 64, 28, and 106.
