Polly Samson's Theatre for Dreamers at Hay on Wye Book Festival

The book is set on the Greek island of Hydra.
Polly Samson is married to David Gilmour of the British band Pink Floyd (see Books And Music).

In 2000 I suggested on a Leonard Cohen Internet News group that they have a reunion on Hydra. I didn't go in the end, because there were some fairly unpleasant male personalities on the newsgroup, 'Brock' was one, but there were others, and the idea of being trapped with them on an island just did not appeal at all! I had visions of women being raped and God alone knows what else going on. If you read Theatre for Dreamers, I recommend reading John Fowles' The Magus as well. I am sure it would be very interesting to compare the two books. Fowles also wrote a beautiful novel called The Ebony Tower, which was adapted to television by the BBC and started Toyah Willcox. If you watch that you will see what a brilliant actress she is. With her husband Robert, she also makes an awesome agony aunt! See A Mystery. The Von Trapped family on the BBC's Front Row:
I'd say it's more of a clan than a family. There are an awful lot of us now:
It includes quite a few Grants and Roses too:
Not surprising we all know rather a lot about psychology, then, is it?

Not Enough Bandwidth to Watch Video

This is how it was in 2017. See  Zuckerberg Fakebook ,  Countdown To Socialism ,  Michelle Obama on Empathy and Knowing Shit  and  On Google and Stanford University's Unwholesome Relationship with the US Intelligence "Community . I wonder what the sky over LA looked like the morning after the AA batteries put up two flack barrages in the early hours, a few days after this: See: Justifying the tons of spent and unspent ordinance dumped onto LA residents that night was an easy enough bit of reportage for the LA Times: The speciality of George H.W. Bush & Co's Zapata Oil Company was offshore drilling. See  The Eastern Arm of Iran-Contra . I can't watch this right now. It's sure to be interesting though: Lori also did another piece on Elon Musk today which I am not going to watch. But I did listen to this: Letting an asshole like Elon Musk launch his teddy-bear into space would be stupidly irresponsible. Somebody at the USAF is going to be court-martialled for thi

Noam Chomsky Laying America's Woes at the Feet of Civil Libertarians

I don't know who these mysterious and criminally lazy Civil Libertarians are. Does he mean people like Nancy Pelosi? See  my comment on YouTube : I'm impressed! So what gives private interests the power to, say, shut down a publisher just because they printed a book? Why couldn't those authors just have their books published by other independent imprints? Because they had sold the rights to the publisher who had sold them on to a shell company that was never going to print them and to fight those cases in [courts] would have cost tens of millions and taken years and because there were hardly any other small publishers around anyway and their publicity budgets were so small compared to the big publishers like Elsevier etc that they were hardly publishing at all. So the problem is abuse of the power of money. And just look at what Hunt was doing manipulating the press in the early sixties to get Johnson elected after JFK was assassinated, ... So this is Chomsky defending his
