While the Archonic Overlay of The Real World reigns supreme and, like fish in a barrel, entrapped humanity watches and continues to enable it in rapt awe, some people have surprisingly taken a time-out from their somnambulistic trance to comment on oldbeatnik's nonsensical ramblings. Amazing!
* “There are certain amerikan cultural landmark innovations everyone should own – a vinyl copy of ‘Pet Sounds’, the director’s cut of ‘The Godfather’, Tristan Taormino’s 4-hour backdoor epic ‘The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women’, a silent-but-deadly Smith and Wesson .44 magnum with custom GemTech silencer, and oldbeatnik’s stellar and opprobrious farce ‘Flakes, Fakes, Stonies, and Phonies’.”
-Downtown Wooly Johnson, Channeled Co-author
* “I would not have guessed you to be a seething mass of thinly disguised hostility. The words "venomous vitriolic verbosity" spring to mind. You manage to insult absolutely everyone, including the reader. You certainly are articulate and erudite but I fear you have turned your considerable talents to erosive ends…”
-Sharon Kane, famous illustrator of Children’s Golden Books

–Hardly Virgin Mary, Channeled Co-author
* “Allow Us to paraphrase Shakespeare in Our assessment of the author: “What a piece of work is oldbeatnik.” He is either both deeply disturbed and profoundly psychotic or the sanest human on your little planeturd. Perhaps he is the latter because of the former - perhaps.” - oldbeatnik, beatnik and neuronaut
* “…it, like, totally was a total mind-fuck, man. I mean, like, this guy, like ripped me a whole new mental asshole - totally - not a problem…”
-some artsy-fartsy slacker dude at the La Grange Starbuck’s

Timothy Leary “The Pope of Dope”
* “I LOVED IT! I devoured it and want more!”
-Geoff Akins, “The Bubble Man”
* “…and if that silver-tongued, two-timing, promiscuous bastard thinks this rubbish is an outrageously provocative, radical, and unsympathetic indictment of The Established Order of Things, he should only know what evils God has in store for his heavenly…er…heathenly manicured and strapping manhood!”
-Betty Bowers, amerika’s best christian
* “Always take your rubbers cuz you never know when it’s gonna rain.”
-Lee Marvin in 1953’s “The Glory Brigade”
