Currently reading this controversial book. Georgia Ede has always presented reasonable, not so far "out there" information on diet. The endorsement/blurb by the (really way, way out there) Dr. David Perlmutter is putting me off, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Curious to find out which claims she will actually make about the connection between diet and psychological problems ...

^ Fiction or non-fiction? LOL

Well I guess it's the job of a good conspiracy writer to make a topic seem highly plausible, entirely likely, and therefore real.

More bizarre & disturbing notions from Joe Farrell on a fascist network that survived WW2 to develop alternate physics and influence global events.

There is the prequel novel too - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - and the associated movie, both pretty good.

I've just picked this up for a couple of quid from ebay. I'm really looking forward to this one:

One For The Record - The Authorised Biography of Galahad by Andrew Wild


‘One for the Record’, the official, authorised biography of Galahad, charts the first quarter century of the Dorset-based band’s existence: the highs and the lows, the challenges and the achievements, the numerous line-up changes (Yes have nothing on Galahad!)  including six keyboard players and eight bassists, the occasional madness on the road, the writing, recording, rehearsing and gigging.'

Hi,

Gads ... there is no good pornography on PA!

Other than that I'm looking at a book on theater improvisation and kinda dismayed that it is so controlled and not allowed to flow! The book is over 60 years old, though, so in many ways it might belong to a completely different generation of actors!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
