I'm was just checking over some of the conversation on this board. This is ever so slightly off topic, but I think Andy Summers, the guitarist from the Police, did a song based on Stranger in a Strange Land and the notion of Grok when he was still with the Police (I'm a gigantic Police fan, anybody else?). I'm reading Friday now. To be honest it is just okay. I was sort of a let down after having read Stranger a couple years ago. Friday just seems to be another "Dream of Electric Sheep/I robot" sort of thing. However, it still has the fun-free hippie commune feel that was present in Stranger. Another side note, I'm one of the members of the Chook Studio band the COT, not a part of Chook, just contracted by them. I really like your shit liquid poet, do you think you'd be interested in maybe lending your poetry to musical interpretation? If so get back to me.
Late,
Grue
