Nice summation, and this drama keeps the public's eye's off of Genocide.

I didn’t watch. Your comment affirms the wisdom of that decision.

Always elucidating! Although I’d love to see a transcript, especially at the end volume dropped.

I stopped talking in the 24th minute. Did you lose sound before that?

At 24:24 is when it dropped off. I listened again with earbuds and this time I didn’t notice any problems in the rest of the recording. Either you fixed it or I paid better attention. Thanks!

Paul: Not a comment on this piece, but anyway...Thank you for mentioning "Prophet Song." I wouldn't have encountered it elsewhere, and I just finished reading it. It is, I suppose, prophetic, which makes it all the more awful. I couldn't help connecting it with Mexico's borderlands or Gaza, for all the misery and treachery it describes. I hope more of your subscribers will read it.

Reading the title referred to reminded me of one of Queen's eponymous, if less commercial, which is to say, better songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07i6rQ58S4E
