On the power of writing things down... Jonathan Rowson recently published something similar albeit with a more positive emphasis on its possibilities called 'Acting ourselves into new ways of thinking'

I quickly stole the best lines to update my About page coz obviously it captures my argument about money! And I guess having written and done so much stuff that goes against the grain of economic thought.... I'm not really inclined toward an economic argument for a 'wealth law'. It take a really good Higgs review to make me read it! :-)

With Barbara Broccoli seemingly unable to reinvent Bond and the Bond director making Beatles films - that so should have been the ending of that book, if I'd waited a few years!

I'd happily pick up the updated or revised version. Looking forward to the Doctor who book. I've left Twitter as it was becoming a cesspit, so thanks for responding here. All the best. Stephen

Of course Blake was speaking of a particular type of Imagination, more akin to Goethe’s “exact sensorial imagination” or Baudelaire’s “constructive imagination” as opposed to fancy, or a good ripping tale, which Genesis seems to be.

I’ve ordered Strange Things Are Happening, looking forward to it. Hopefully there’s a section on the Bam Caruso label.

This is a good, albeit old site on UK Pychedelia that has quite a bit on the Rubble Series that was originally issued by Bam Caruso.
