I thoroughly enjoyed it when I first heard some LRH album (not sure which one). It was a definite improvement on trying to stay awake during a very dull admin tape play late at night after not enough sleep, yet again.

The first time I heard 'The Road to Freedom' was while we were picketing L. Ron Hubbard Way in 1998.
Mark Ebner was parked at one end of the blocked off street with his VW blasting 'Shaft' and, halfway down the street, the Little Fake Schoolhouse was retaliating with 'Road to Freedom'. I suppose it was supposed to 'thetan' us into a cloud of vapor...
I thought it was entertaining, in a bizarre kind of way. I especially liked 'The Worried Being'.
While looking for the playlist off the record, I ran into *this* site:
http://www.ronthemusicmaker.org/music/melyr.htm
It says:
This is a Mission Earth album piece – first album – ‘Joy City.’
“Now this is a very tricky piece, and it’s got a lot of gimmicks to it. But first off I’m going to play you an organ arrangement of it, just to show you that it goes together as a piece of music.”
I was pretty excited at first, thinking they would include info on *all* the songs Ron included in 'Mission Earth', but, no such luck.
What I had wanted to see was this gem, from ME #9 - 'Villainy Victorious':
(No title, as far as I know)
Oh, a soldier's life is the life for me;
Tuma-a -diddle; tuma-a-diddle, paw-pata
In camp and plain, I'm always free
To tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-paw~
No women ever spoil my view
With tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-pam
They're always warning something new
Not tuma-diddle; tuma-diddle, paw-pam
For it is the men that I enjoy
To tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-pav.~
The best there is I find is boy!
Oh, tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle; paw-pam
The enemy I do not mind
If tuma-diddle, tuma-diddl4 paw-paw
Can go on in my behind
With tuma-diddle; tuma-diddle, paw-pa~
And if my bunkmates all are kind
With tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-pam
Surrounded by ten thousand (bleeps)
That tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-pa~
All passionate and hard as rocks
To tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-pazt~
Eager to slide in my buttocks
And tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle, paw-paw!
So (bleep), (bleep), (bleep) and (bleep) in me!
Tuma-diddle, tuma-diddl4 paw-pam
And let me (bleep) and (bleep) in thee
With tuma-diddle, tuma-diddk, paw-pam
Oh, what a love-ul-lee Arm-ee!
With its tuma-diddle, tuma-diddle;
OH! BOY!
But, no such luck
