Kate says Reminds me to throw on my Temporary Autonomous Zone cd again! I love Bey/Peter Lamborn Wilson/?'s books. I just wish he wasn't so into little boys.

wassonii says Fistula, my pleasure. Kate, Little Boys? I think I know what you mean, but not exactly, so please illuminate. TAZ is a good piece!

Kate says He was an active contributor to the NAMBLA bulletin: http://libcom.org/library/leaving-out-ugly-part-hakim-bey and has been pretty open about paedophilia.

spaceling says Ahhh! So that's what Hakim Bey looks like. He sounds so young on Laswell's TAZ (Temporal Autonomous Zone) album. And why am I not surprised that FS and kate are on this. You guys are so cool. I didn't know about Bey's NAMBLA connection either -- maybe that's why I haven't heard mention of him in a while. Is he now a pariah? I wouldn't be surprised. I will be thinking about this the next time I listen to his essay on Amour Fu (on the TAZ album).

spaceling says Holy crap! What an eye opener... by the way, the author of that piece on Bey/Wilson, Robert Helms, edited (still edits?) an incredible zine that I only knew about from living in Philly back when: Guinea Pig Zero, chronicling the life of human test subjects and their personal essays. Good stuff.

Mike the Knife says Hmmm. I have a mad-on for adults (no matter how talented) who take advantage of children - and as big a hatred for any kind of sexual predator. Consenting teens together or consenting adults? No problemo. That said, Laswell is a fave of mine - and the track is intoxication.

spaceling says I like Umberto Eco's tales of the Man of the Mountain and his hashasheen in his book Baudalino.
