Ask Dr Hal
FROM "THE SORCERER TO HIS LOVE..."
...TO "KABIR,' or, THE DARKLY WHIRLING STORM. This episode begins with epigraphs from Clark Ashton Smith and Professor Tolkien. We discuss the perennial problem of the obdurate secret top-down control of this soi-disant "do-ocracy" --apparently hostile to this show, that or those entities have publicly announced NO intention of repairing the studio equipment, broken through unnecessary hard usage, needed for the production of the program despite numerous specious promises to the contrary... Now, we give a shout-out to listener Michael Cook, who has apparently offered to replace the inert and defunct electronics. More on this later. We then speculate on what kind of "apes" raised the feral child John Clayton, the Earl of Greystoke, a.k.a. Tarzan of the Apes. A segue takes us to selections from Huxley's APE AND ESSENCE. We then discuss Animal Husbandry (including the Texas brown Tarantula mating season) with none other than SubGenius Sacred Scribe Rev. Ivan Stang and Kurt von Buse-Kuersteiner. And so it goes. Coleridge and others help us along. Poet Robert Bly takes us out with "Kabir."
