Aldous Huxley's birthday

Written by Al Barger
Published July 26, 2003

Take your happy pills and celebrate: Aldous Huxley was born 109 years ago today, July 26, 1894.

Brave New World may be the best dystopian novel not written by George Orwell. The "soma" happy drug seems particularly prescient in the post-Prozac era.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and Sarah Palin and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.
