Sounds Like
Bad Nurse sounds like a picnic with your family on a sweet summer day in the late 70's. Mother and Father smiling, laughing and you feeling like the most special person in the world. It sounds of the trees rustling in the wind, shading you; a bucket of lukewarm fried chicken, greasy napkins, cool-aid, coleslaw. It sounds like you being left with your dog, Freebie on the picnic blanket so that your Mother and Father can gallivant naked in the long grass taking photos.
Bad Nurse sounds like you finding those photos in your late teens and remembering the day as fine but not so . . . free. You don't mind. You stash the old, greenish, fading images back in the squeaky filing cabinet and never say a word to your Mom and Dad. They were hippies after all. Things were different then.
And all is good and well.

re: objectification ... i believe the general idea involved the removal of several articles of clothing, a makeout session of sorts, and setting select performers and musical instruments ablaze. in short, a typical night at a certain bar in P-town. I was having wicked deja vu.
