Walked around the corner of a college museum in St. Louis last year and ran smack dab into the original. Just about crapped my pants. My wife had to drag me away or I'd still be there.gomonkeygohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388208407977661175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150115688344897494.post-55213141421755573172009-05-18T21:26:00.000-04:002009-05-18T21:26:00.000-04:00I have no idea how it has taken nearly a month for...I have no idea how it has taken nearly a month for the news to reach me that JG Ballard has died. Maybe I saw it mentioned before and I just edited it out, so thanks for marking his passing. I can finally say that all the authors I love are now dead, hardly a comforting thought. It is hard for me to imagine just how my consciousness would have turned out had I not discovered him in the second hand bookshops that used to exist all over the UK in the early eighties - along with WSBurroughs, PK Dick, Robert Anton Wilson and Terence Mckenna - he provided so much more than words, he gave us a way to see the world that was unique and for that I will always be grateful<br /><br />By the way - you have such a wonderful music blog, you can tell you were a big Ballard head just from the choice of music!paulhttp://www.exopolitics.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150115688344897494.post-72325288889774255062009-04-20T03:22:00.000-04:002009-04-20T03:22:00.000-04:00Sad to hear.
