ABOUT THE BOOK

Frank Moore’s Shaman’s Den streamed live on the internet almost every Sunday night from 1998 until Frank’s death in 2013. The Shaman’s Den was a 2 1/2-hour variety show featuring in-studio concerts by bands from around the world and in-depth conversations about politics, art, music, and life.

In this volume, the first in a series, Frank and his guests explore a wide-open field of topics and present new, alternative ways of looking at everything from current economic and political situations to personal relationships.

The first interview featured in this volume is a conversation with PAUL KRASSNER, comedian/satirist and co-founder of the Yippies, from 1994.

“Frank: You always have inspired me.

Paul: Well, I’ll tell you Frank, it’s a two-way street ’cause you inspire me. So, let’s continue to inspire each other.

Frank: How?

Paul: How? Because you work hard ... and you say what you mean ... and you communicate. It’s difficult to communicate and you do it. And that’s the most important thing ... that’s what life is about is communication. And I respect it a lot. So, what else is there to do in life but communicate. You know, and you do it with passion and honesty. So that’s inspiring.”
