My friend, Kayla Platsis, turned me on to this powerful performance by Michael Meade, a deeply knowledgeable mythologist–and John Densmore, who some will recognize as the drummer for The Doors. From left to right in the photo above: John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and Jim Morrison. *

In this piece under the title How Your Unique Genius Can Help Heal Nature and Culture, Meade and Densmore weave myth and music and rhythm into a timely and timeless piece of performance art. It’s really worth seeing and hearing. It’s brilliant!

Hear Meade speak at Stanford University:

*The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore.

“Horst-Wessel-Lied”
