Episode 20 begins with two new introductory voices - Neil Kramer and Ross Hemsworth taking the place of KMO and Max Freakout in Opaque’s endeavour to make this podcast more representative of the wider alternative perception community.
It starts with short clips of well known songs by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and the Sex Pistols which were banned, and as a result got to number 1 in the UK charts. This segways into Opaque’s recent lifetime ban from the grow report, which is the second forum Opaque has been banned from since the start of this podcast.
He explains his version of events that lead to the ban, and philosophises about how the psychedelic community have become too academic and scholarly, lacking the primal, bardic and anarchic qualities that he feels are quintessential to the community not becoming imprisoned in the left brain as it tries to conform and pander to the institutions because it wants its drugs legalised, which has resulted in that community becoming a trainspotter like niche, and a second matrix outside the first, that the trip is like a genie out of a bottle, and as soon as the trip is over, the genie is back into the bottle, which represents the left brain. He argues that conformity is like a wave at sea, which includes ‘pseudo alternative’ people, and that only the bravest are part of the undertow which could change the direction of the tide.
Also, Opaque talks about his new blog site http://shamanicfreedom.blogspot.com, and invites people to become guest bloggers. Other subjects include the G20 protests and the unsustainability and ridiculousness of the present capitalist system.
He wraps up by plugging future shows, and reminds people about his new blog site shamanicfreedom.blogspot.com .
Music by Ozric Tentacles, Captain Beefheart and Jimi Hendrix
