Slacker musings on culture, music, and our dystopian world.
Let’s do an Aeon Byte/GenX Wasteland hybrid and dive into the high weirdness of rock’n’roll. I can’t think of anyone better than Richard Syrett (https://www.strangeplanet.ca/) and his new book, Tales from The Rock ‘n Roll Twilight Zone: Eerie Enigmas and Supernatural Secrets from Rock’s Darkest Corners (https://amzn.to/4xiQxr4). Ready to go on a journey into the strangest legends, conspiracies, and unexplained mysteries of music history? We’ll investigate the eerie coincidences, tragic deaths, and bizarre synchronicities that official accounts often gloss over. You’ll find provocative questions, such as whether the Beatles were part of a grand psychological operation or if a secret double replaced one of their own. From the occult bargains of the Delta blues to the highly suspicious circumstances surrounding the sudden demise of Elvis, this show pulls back the curtain on the music industry’s most haunting secrets.

The Jesus-Elvis Connection
Our first chat (https://thegodabovegod.com/elvis-jesus-philip-k-dick/) was a hunka, hunka burning gnosis, and the sequel will be even more electric. Author, seeker, and Elvis historian Christopher J. Barber (https://www.youtube.com/@christopherjbarber) joins me on GenX Wasteland, and this time he’ll shake his hips on his new book, The Jesus-Elvis Connection. We’ll explore the uncanny parallels between Jesus Christ and a legendary musical “King.” Christopher shares a vast collection of evidence, ranging from biographical coincidences and numerological patterns to scriptural prophecies and reports of miraculous healing powers. This journey includes the question of whether these extraordinary similarities are mere chance or point toward a deeper, messianic mystery.
