Early September, Jupiter tucked under the 2/3 moon at midnight, heaviest of La Luna’s many forms and phases: low over the eastern horizon, like the Death Star under construction. The owls are hooting in three different octaves, a whole choir by relay, a choir of the night. The night air has turned cool again, the wind only whispering.This is Episode #199 of Desert Oracle Radio, broadcasting from Joshua Tree.

EPISODE #185: WHO BY FIRE, WHO BY WAR

, , , , , ,

It’s a beautiful spring in the desert, which naturally makes one dream of heading off to war. Maybe a secret war, a guerrilla war, an unknown soldier, wounded deep in psychic battle, like Leonard Cohen in the Sinai, like Che in Bolivia, like good old Ambrose Bierce headed to the deserts down in Mexico for one last campaign, one final outrage. With moody new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver, and a travelogue from ancient Damascus, where Saul/Paul stumbled into town after being blinded by the impossible lights over the Roman backroads.

Thanks much to those of you who support this program on our Patreon, and for listening over these many years. This is EPISODE #185: WHO BY FIRE, WHO BY WAR. (The book about Leonard Cohen in the Yom Kippur War is here.)
