Phone Post: A tribute to Buckminster Fuller

[jwgh]

Some notes on this:

plorkwort inspired this phone post.

The lyrics I used were the ones given here (look under session 072). The lyrics that chicken_cem found appear to be a little more accurate, but hopefully the sound quality of the phone post is bad enough that you can't tell the difference.

The stamps are completely freaky looking. I have to go to the post office tomorrow and buy a bunch.

If you have Real Player you can hear Buckminster Fuller himself sing the song.

Although chicken_cem's lyrics seem to be more accurate than the ones on the memeticdrift site, there's one more correction that I'd make: the last line of the first stanza should be, "Mies, Gropius, Corbusier, and Wright."

Also, I am terribly pleased that the stamps include his apartment blocks designed to be dropped from zeppelins and planted in bombed-out craters.
