Reply to Planetary Distress Call

I sent a planetary distress call a few days ago. I received this reply and well, there's good news and bad news.

Jim Richardson reads "Bar Fight" by the Richardson Brothers

"Bar Fight" is a science fiction vignette in the style of William S. Burroughs. It reads like a hard-boiled noir tale of a private eye tailing a crooked cop to the bad part of town, ending in a scene of shocking violence -- except the private eye is an interdimensional traveler in a space suit, the crooked cop is the god Osiris (now a beat cop for Jehovah), and the bad part of town is a bar in Limbo. I performed this through a megaphone, even though I was speaking very quietly, because it gives the feel of a distant transmission. The video has a surreal shuttering effect which was unintended but I like it. I recorded this a couple years ago but abandoned it because I thought it was silly. Now I've viewed it again and it is making me laugh, so I'm posting it. There is a gap of a few seconds in the middle as I scroll my page down.
