S'more from my McLuhan interviews
"You were sitting on the floor in the
pool of light. Sworn in, levels of entry. It was performance
oriented, great way to keep an audience; the smell of smoke and the
brandy a direct reflection of who he was. At lectern he could have
had notes, but not during the Monday nights. He had been doing this
stuff for years, very familiar with it. Made bad jokes, proud of his
triple pun. 'There were three brothers and they ran a cattle ranch
they called Focus. 'Cause that's where the Sun's Rays Meet. Or the
Sons Raise Meat.' Liked the three words that could go either way,
played on words all the time. Talked about strippers, 'They aren't
naked, they put on their audience and wear their audience like
clothes...' it's published somewhere..."
