the Pierre Degeyter Club; proletarian music

[Sam Pawlett]

Hi Ken. Thanks for the tip on Eisler. I'll be sure to check him out.
Adorno wrote heaps on music but I find him very hard to understand. His
turgid prose style and his bad Hegelian hangover make parts of his work
near impenetrable. I find some of his writings on music to be thinly
veiled snobbery, hiding behind all that jargon which he never attempts
to define. I recall your fine research on mind control in CovertAction
from many years ago. I was briefly in touch with a women several years
ago who was a victim/survivor of Ewen Cameron. She was doing her PHd in
education but was having a very tough time. I gave her some of your
work. Here in Canada, the Ewen Cameron "experiments" at Mcgill have
become public knowledge through the bourgeous media. Several victims
have won lawsuits and received some compensation for having their minds
destroyed. What do you think of the work of Walter Bowart and the other
researchers? How do you react to being called a "conspiracy theorist"?
What is your take on the CHomsky/Cockburn line on "conspiricism"? Peter
Dale Scott is still the finest political researcher in the country
today.
