THIS WEEK ON THE VIKING YOUTH POWER HOUR...
Discordianism in America (Recorded @ Black Rock City)
Paul from the PK
& J Show recommended that we do a show on the fair maiden Eris
and the many emanations of Discordianism in the last half of the
20th century. All the Vikings being heavily influenced by that wiley
old mick Robert
Anton Wilson it seemed like the perfect show for us. So we did
some research and came up with some amazing information, most of
which is pulled from Adam Gorightly's amazing book, The
Prankster and the Conspiracy: The Story of Kerry Thornley and How
He Met Oswald and Inspired the Counterculture .
We touch on this book and Kerry Thornley's fascinating if tragic
life as well as the lives and influences of many other prominent
discordians and those who were influenced such as PTV,
TOPY, the Church
of SubGenius, the Cacophany
Society, Burning Man
and a whole lot more. We also get a musical interlude from a wonderful
fucked up kid who goes by the name Breakfast and sings loves songs
to his toothbrush and Niacin. It's hard to imagine a more eloquent
way to say, "Hail Eris!" .
Edited and engineered by Viking Brian.
