_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What's your name?
Christie Miller.
Where did you get the button?
When I saw them last Thursday.
This button says the association is unnecessary.
Like water, sleep, food, and love.
Now that's nice.
Thank you very much.
Let me meet the association.
May I have your names, sir, please?
Gary Alexander.
Gary, how long has the association been an association?

It's been longer than that.
About a year and eight months.
And what is your name?
I'm Brian Cole.
How long have you been together?
We've established that now a year and a half.
But have you always been here in Los Angeles?
No, we're from six different states, starting at that end,
like New Hampshire, California, Kansas, Alabama, Washington, Tennessee.
We got together in California.
We've been living here and working out of Hollywood, too.
All right, fair enough.
May I have the name, please?
Jim Yesern.
Jim, how did you decide on the name for a group?
This is the most difficult [G] thing for anybody who starts one.
It's a [N] problem, yeah.
We were all sitting _ around at a party, sort of racking our brains,
trying to figure out what to call ourselves,
and we started going through the dictionary.
And very soon into the dictionary,
we came across [E] something that said exactly [G] what we were,
and that was a group of individuals united towards a common goal.
The Association.
What was the second choice of a name?
The [Ab] 666, and then we had_
And [G] then on the more serious side,
we had a Neo-Renaissance singers,
because we were aware of the new move [N] in music.
Jerry, what's the most difficult thing about keeping a group together
and selecting the right thing? _
_ Getting a song, usually our own original material,
and then forcing it on the other guys
and conning them into liking it.
_ _ _ You fellas travel a good deal.
May I have your name?
Yes, I'm Ted Bluchel, the pig.
All right.
How do you keep from going out of your minds on the road?
Well, on our last tour, we had the great four-week water war,
where we raged all kinds of cane with water balloons and squirt guns
and got thrown out of every motel on the road.
But we bought them.
You amuse yourselves.
What of the future?
What is your name?
My name's Rusty Gare.
The future?
Well, we hope there is one.
And we hope there's been a pair.
If there hasn't, we've been duped.
