GUY: Shooting the breeze, remotely, in a globalized world

1h 47m | Jul 30, 2021

What does travel, culture, and music have to do with one another? I hit up my old friend Guy in the Netherlands where we reminisce about our former trio band The Robot Kings. We talk about Dutch art, entertainment and language. We touch on "Black Lives Matter" and the tradition of Zwarte Piet (aka Black Pete) as well as identity politics, victimhood and ‘on being offended’. We discuss how language and culture impact one's worldview and ponder whether the "world is going to hell in a handbasket" or not. Discussions are not limited to high-crime, "green criminology", the climate, and issues of sustainability. Guy tells of the eco village and bio diverse habitat he and his partner are cultivating with a community of folks living off-grid; and of course - the tradition of Dutch levees, dykes and Flood control in the Netherlands - or rather as he describes a “landmass won from the sea”. We ponder urban life versus wilderness at a time of pandemic and weigh-in on the philosophy of travel.
