They distract the staging lights so you can leave a little early. Its the 70s man. There's no rational to any of it.
I suppose that Grrrovy is approptiate. If to comprehend what I am endevoring to convey, or in layman's terms if you can dig it. I have no idea why someone would make one like that. If I were going to conject I would suppose that it was a style thing more than any other thing.

Ahh, the recreational pharmaceuticals of the 60's and 70's. Pretty crazy some of the stuff we tried and survived. Cannabis, mushrooms, ecstasy, mescaline, peyote, rush, speed, crank, cocaine, quaaludes, speed, and copious amounts of alcohol.
