“Ether Frolic refers to the time in the the 19th century when people would inhale ether on stage and carrying on in a manner not common to 19th century behavioral norms. Audience participation was encouraged. Sort of an old-timey Acid Test. Peter also chose Ether Frolic in an ironic sense, because I was given what I later found out was an overdose of ether for a tonsillectomy in Minnesota in 1945. This remains the single most painful and terrifying experience of my life. I knew beforehand that something truly awful was going to happen, but tried to be brave. My last words before they clamped the rubber ether mask on my 6 year old face was, ‘This is the life.'”
