While reading Christopher Hyatt's Undoing Yourself With Energized Meditation recently I noticed that those grating images were included there as well. Hyatt was the publisher of Falcon Press, which has since his death fractured into New Falcon and Original Falcon--if you want to be alternately amused and horrified st the steady degradation of his legacy do a search on that situation. Hyatt was also Bob's friend, fan, and champion. Wilson, Hyatt, and Regardie are probably laughing it up right now--"run puppy run..."chashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923105949653410251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-3357836063180871192016-10-20T02:43:51.037-07:002016-10-20T02:43:51.037-07:00Rasa: No harm, no foul.

As for Dylan, we've got a minor tussle there. I always loved that scratchy edgy faux-Woody Guthrie voice of Dylan, and was happy to let Dylan be Dylan. I think Dylan's voice matched the scruffiness of the times. <br /><br />Bob gave the original illustrator notes on what all the illustrations should be, and so I look at them with that thought in mind. Honestly, tho, I also always felt that some of the original illustrations were much better than others. However, just this morning we received two new samples from a couple of Danish artists, and both are far better, in my opinion, than any of the originals. I'm excited for what we eventual choose!Rasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352273977312470292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-30780960339549030052016-10-19T02:22:27.276-07:002016-10-19T02:22:27.276-07:00I may be in a minority here, but I always thought ...I may be in a minority here, but I always thought the cartoons were seriously ugly & distracting.
