The revolutionaries of May

[Carvill, John]

the Hagiography of OBA indicates more than passing familiarity with  
such things as tarot and astrology >>

Sure, sure. Always wondered how seriously he takes it. Lot of it in GR,
of course. Always recall in David Crosby's autobiography, Long Time
Gone, one of the better books by a musician about that period, I reckon
(read it about 20 years ago but that impression has stuck), he says
[paraphrasing here]: Don't know what you folks think of astrology. I;ve
always thought it was bullshit. Especially once I heard the Reagans
believed in it.

O-or, that live Doors album, 'AN American Prayer', with ol' Jimmy
working the crowd ("you could pick your teeth with a New York joint")
then reeling off into a rap about astrology:

Jim Morrison: I am of course, a Saggitarious - the most sensitive of all
the signs....

Cringe-worthy Woman in Audience: I know! So am I.....

JM: Anyway, I don't believe in it, I think it's bullshit.

CWWA: I know, neither do I!


It would be funny to think that TRP took this sort of thing seriously,
and Nancy and Ron later consulted the Tarot, soothsayers, etc. to
determine whether to get haircuts or when to bomb Libya...
