The problem with sci-fi is that no ones lives there.
We visit, we dream, we stage and act, etc.
What about that guy who dressed in tights and proceeded to be a super hero? What was in his mind?
This brings me to Sun Ra. I've listened to his music at times, heard him spout off some cosmo jargon. I've listened to his explaining himself in interviews and watched his movie "Space is the Place". I was wondering if he was acting and when would we see his normal self.
The other day I stumbled across Sun Ra poetry and that he did lectures at a college. I already had heard that Sun Ra schooled jazz musicians including Walter Williams, historian and researcher of ancient Egypt and religions. I realize many jazz cats were expanded by his views, like Pharaoh Sanders. Well I've got to go but one thing I can say is that Sun Ra lived in sci-fi. He was into ancient wisdom, Egypt and Mystic teachings.
