Real comments, real seekers. Moved by each one. You can find this puppy @youtube. Believe me, there ain't two. Charles Bradley: "As a non Satanist who's had a life long interest in the subject and phenomenon I can say that's the best piece I've come across so far and I'm 39. I first came across this on Medium. Very interesting and a good reference point for further reading." Bruce Banner 5280: I have always wanted to do this lecture and if I ever do I can only hope I do it nearly as well as Mitch did. Bravo. Such precision and tenderness." Angela Kirby: "Fascinating Mitch......dark in the light and there's light in the dark!" Mute Riddles Aka SideFX: "Thank you for clearing the haze on this subject matter, you are by far the most punk rock historian Mitch!"
