Or not, as we immediately cut to The Flower and Vegetable Show -- live in concert! Playing on the Glenoak Public Access channel this Tuesday at 2 AM. And the band is playing at Pete's Pizza, although they're in the front instead of in the back room. And put your hands over your ears, all classic rock fans and pretty much any music fans in general, because they're butchering "Sunshine of Your Love" again. It appears to be the only song this band will play. You'd think that after being together for such a long time, they would have more than one song in their catalogue, and if they were going to go with only one song, it would at least be an original. Anyway, the band guys rock out with RevCam, who subjects us all to his wide-open mouth again while he sings wimpily. But what's this? I hear the irritating tings of a triangle! That would be Annie, who's getting her jam time in as lead triangle player. She performs this task as she does most other things, looking like a maniac and wearing her Determined Open-Mouthed Clownface. As I pay closer attention to the lyrics, I realize that this song is one that a small-town reverend probably shouldn't be performing for his flock. Unless by "my dawn surprise," Cream meant "the blessings of our Lord Jesus." Which I doubt.
As the band rocks out, Ruthie dances like she's at Woodstock and Simon says he now knows what Mick Jagger's kids feel like. Not really, Simon. Peter Tork's kids, perhaps, but not Jagger's. As people dance around the kids, thus giving the illusion that this performance is good, Matt says he's glad that they took separate cars, and Lucy sarcastically says it's too bad she didn't bring her lighter for the encore. Dude, Lucy has a lighter? Do her parents know? Simon wonders what's up with Ruthie, and Lucy says they should blame it on the Spice Girls. Huh? What? How? The three non-dancing Camden kids then salute girl power with peace signs. This was probably Brenda Hampton's subtle way of telling us that "girl power," and by extension women's liberation, is bad. As Ruthie continues to dance, we see Matt in the background pumping his fist in the air and cheering, which is a dramatic attitude change from what we just saw, but whatever. Sideburns sings something about staying with his darling until his "seeds are dried up," and I hope he's referring to flower or vegetable seeds and not...you know. Because this is supposed to be a family show. As RevCam attempts to devour the microphone and probably half of Glenoak with his mouth, Annie holds her triangle up high and bangs on it with an insane look on her face behind him. Eat your heart out, Tracy Partridge!
