Oh My Goodness. Just ploughing through 'Weird Scenes' and went looking for its author, David McGowan. That this aggressive cancer took him so quickly is a real eye opener and a bummer because, as stated in this article, so many questions thrown up by Mr. McGowan's research really begged another book. The book he never got the chance to write. Sigh.

Does anyone know how the material produced by the LC government studio was disseminated? For the allegedly largest studio to be hiring all those people to produce films, et al, I cannot believe they simply archived the material.

To learn of Mr. McGowan's untimely death six years after the fact is a stone cold bummer. Is anybody else prepared to take up the gauntlet, to further explore what is necessary?

I like the book review but in no way were Morrison or Zappa unwitting Manchurian Musicians. The parents may have gotten their foot in the recording studio but I don't think you can induce musical talent with mind control
