Keep in mind that dealing with mentally ill people, especially mentally ill children is very difficult. When my son was six, he had episodes in which it required both his parents to restrain him; he spoke in a very calm, seemingly rational voice quite unlike his usual one, mocking us and...

Yeah--put him on with David Hatcher Childress! :p bonaventura

I finally got around to listening to the last quarter of the interview. Outstanding work, Gene and Chris. You were probing and challenging without being rude or sarcastic. It may be unfair of me, but somehow I can't separate the outcome of the interview and this latest development. At any event...

While I put little or no credence in Mr. Sanchez's story, it has a strange resemblance to what Walter Bosley claimed his father told him about Roswell. And the whole aliens-engineered-us meme does echo the Aviary line about the human past. More disinformation, perhaps? I must say that I have an...

Ceremonial magicians take themselves so seriously. Even Crowley--sarcasm aside--had no sense of humor. bonaventura PS: One more vote for Jim Moseley!

Thanks for doing that, Gene. I think the panel format was one of the things that made LJN's show so listenable. His one-on-one show (LJN Versus) on WNBC wasn't as enjoyable (though there was a certain schadenfreude in hearing someone ground into itsy-bitsy pieces). bonaventura

Gene et al., I would love to hear a show on LJN. I started listening to him when I was ten (I'd read a Jean Shepherd article in MAD magazine in summer camp, became a rabid Shepherd fan, and discovered Long John in the process). Long John's show was my introduction to this whole paranormal...
