His relaxing style was a magnificent end to an extremely well produced show. It was consequently such a...”Read full review »

““Getting high lowers alertness. Go back and read Beat poetry written in dim smoke-filled rooms and most of it is less interesting than the average computer manual.”

“And as you say, anger dies, genius endures.
I believe so, here we have a show of worth, plain, unadulterated, unhurried. We must be mad to buy into anything else.
Great stuff from the hearts of so few. GK is my notion of Santa.”
