I am a huge HST fan, as you can tell by my screen name, and have been wondering how he would be responding to our current society, my guess is he'd be labeled a far right loon(despite having been good friends with George McGovern and Jimmie Carter, weird times we live in to say the least). I have been wondering when the cancel culture assclowns will get around to censoring his work, sure most of it would get their panties in a bunch if they could actually comprehend it. In no way do I ever see him pulling a Chomsky and becoming a lockdown fetishist; HST lived his own way and refused to bow to anyone. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.........

If the old dictum "The unexamined life is not worth living" is true, then I would bet my bottom Kenworth that the unexamined government is not worth having.

Seems to be borne out empirically.

When you say Noam are you referring to Chomsky or someone else?

Thanks again for your superlative journalism, Trish. Hunter Thompson on the music business? I recall in 1987, when I was initially debuting Waveform, a former VP of Sony Canada told me"privately"; "What are you doing getting into bed with those mother-feccers and whore-masters?" It always comes down to manufacturing consent. Yeah, Noam flipped out too. So has Malone, Leake and Oliver RE: the climate casino.

John Leake of the McCullough duo, flipped out on Cuba today 'spiritually bypassing' his Yankee embargo. The list is long. So much for core competence, where our higher learning dismembers the entirety, so as to peer microscopically into the entrails of manifest form as Tolle would say. It's like pleading with JBP to stick to his clinical shrink work. So much for our hierarchical intelligentsia, oh well. PPM: "When will we ever learn? When will we ever..."

And the spiritual equivalent of that phrase is: "All's well."
