He also spent a lot of time here in libraries, reading Swift, Joyce, Beckett, Yeats and other Irish literary greats. Nothing to do with tax breaks! (ref: Wagner, page 75, ISBN 1-56184-199-4) The Golden Horde did some music for the original TCD stage production of RAW's "Wilhem Reich In Hell", and one of the songs is on the cassette (but not the LP) of the album. Guru Weirdbrain (better known as an Evening Herald journo and a member of Horslips under his real name!) put their album out in Ireland on Hotwire, his own label. The Chocolate Biscuit Conspiracy happened in 1987 - 23 years ago! So 2010 would be an apt year to get the reissues out. The KLF (who also had a thing about the number 23 and were influenced by RAW: the Justified Ancients are in one of his books) started making music 23 years ago aswell.

Remember the GH alright - Ireland's very own 'Nuggets' band, I reckon (30 years after). Wasn't overly enthusiastic on them at the time - suppose I thought they spent more time getting dressed up/putting on the make-up than they did on the songs (was fairly widespread that in the 80s)... Robert Anton Wilson - was living here for the taxbreaks, I assume ? Interesting character - along the same line as a few other wackos (Genesis P. Orridge, Wilhelm Reich, Lovecraft... ) Your post inspired me to go looking for Ireland's own Cramps (the Gorehounds) - didn't directly find them but found some other interesting stuff I might get a chance to post up on...
