[edit] Yay for drugged tapwater! Boo for underage sex!

Does "providing all the Senators and Representatives with teenaged escorts" mean what it sounds like? Because that alone should be enough to win over most members of Congress. Whether the word means "chaperones" or "prostitutes" here may be the difference between the film being merely edgy and being downright subversive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asat (talk • contribs)

Your "escorts" link above doesn't appear in the text... and well it shouldn't. The term used in the movie dialogue was a "teenage guide", and their only stated job was to keep the politicians company while they tripped, in the hours leading up to a (no pun intended) joint session. (One's first LSD experience is reputably best not had alone; "guides" were actually a sound idea.) Most of them were young men, and the only comment of a sexual nature made was by Billy Cage (the gay member of the Troopers), when he cancelled Johnny Fergus's scheduled guide, to "take that man myself." If any sex went on, it didn't come up in the movie. Zephyrad 15:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] deletion

Garland Jeffreys wrote an unrelated song called "Wild in the Streets", which both he and Chris Spedding recorded in the 1970s. It became the title song of a 1982 album by The Circle Jerks.

Bon Jovi also released an unrelated song titled "Wild in the Streets".

If these songs are unrelated to the movie why do they are mentioned then? This makes no sense. 85.177.168.171 19:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)nomennescio
