"I agree with Bugs," put in Sylvia. "I think it’s garbage."

"Garbage – now there’s a rock group," enthused Bugs. "Besides the normal drums, they use six different garbage can lids, each at a different pitch. For their live show they actually drive a garbage truck out on stage and the group jumps out. And at the end they get in again and drive away. It’s one of a kind!"
