I DON'T agree that Earth had a rapid crust displacement that pulled N. America to temperate climates from further north or pushed Antarctica out of temperate climates to the south pole. But at least Hancock tried to offer a theory, unlike people who label him a pseudoscientist, while they offer no explanations for the facts in the book.1996: 9/29 Randall's Island 2, 10/1 Buffalo 2000: 8/27 Saratoga Springs

This book had a big influence on my thinking and views. It's been quite a long time since I've read this one and seems to me to be the right time to revisit it:

just started but a great read. Never gave sonic youth much attention. Maybe will now.

Big thumbs up, Lou!I was totally immersed in that book and after finishing it, I wanted to get into a time machine and go back to that grimy, dangerous, highly creative and marvelously crazy world of NYC in the late 70's and early 80's. Also, reading that book started costing me a bit of money... I went from just having one Sonic Youth record (the box set of Daydream Nation) to where I am now with five Sonic Youth LPs and five by Lee Ranaldo."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

I know I'm supposed to like themNahhhhh!Kidding, but seriously, my philosophy about music is "like what you like and don't worry about the rest". And who knows, sometimes things change and you might end up liking something you didn't like before. But if not, that's cool because the beautiful thing about music and our ears and brains is that whatever makes the connection for each of us, no matter how different it may be, is a marvelous and wonderful thing."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

And here I am, many moons later, still chasing good tunes.
Whatever!
Great book so far.0 -

I will keep an eye out for it, for sure.Thanks for the tip, Pap!P.S. I just looked it up and noticed the book is forwarded by Krist Novoselic.
