Powerful evocation. Even without an extract to read, ‘Pan’ seems a necessary reminder that beneath the sterile psychic architecture of today’s world, our bright Apollonian towers, the wild gods still stir. “We’re Wild Gods baby we’re Wild Gods!”

“You’re all a bunch of fuckin idiots! Letting people tell you what you’re gonna do! Letting people push you around! How long do you think its gonna last?!! How long are you gonna let them push you around?! .., Maybe you love it! Maybe you love your face gettin stuck in the shit!! Maybe you love gettin pushed around! You love it dontcha! You’re all a buncha slaves!! What are you gonna do about it?!! What are you gonna do about it?!! What are you gonna do about it?!! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DOOOO?!!”
