Subject: Moss don't grow on a rollin stone



back in my younger napster days i downloaded a series of 4 audio
commentaries on Nietzsche, narrated, of all people, by Charlton Heston.
Knowing Heston's ultra right wing sensibilities I scantily fast forwarded
my way thru one in order to confirm it all as a hatchet job and was so
confirmed and so put them away.

Recently I acquired a decent machine through which i could transfer my
favorite mp3's to audio cassettes for listening in my chauffeured limo and
in the process of organizing a few song sets to that purpose i came across
these Heston tapes again, but this time I decided to listen more closely,
with a result that knocked my socks off. I mean, wow! Turns out on longer
listen it was not a hatchet job at all but an excellent extremely well done
capsule introduction for beginners to Nietzsche's thought.

The whole thing rang in at just under 80 megs and fit quite comfortably on
two 90 minute cassettes (or one-tenth of a cd).

n why m' i mentioning it here?

if anyone knows a brite but uninitiate adolescent or above who is troubled
by what they are and/or troubled by what they see around them, then  - - -

maybe i could give charly a call - or sumpin
