What a delightful and illuminating discussion over a wide range of topics. He is one of my favorite guests that CC has interviewed.
As much as I was looking forward to a continuation of last week’s conversation with Rich Hoack, I thoroughly enjoyed two of my favorite gentlemen, Morgoth and Greg, chatting. Excellent show.
Thank you for an enjoyable discussion.
Great guests on the podcast lately !!
I had heard blips here and there, so I knew of a Morgoth, but I had never actually watched any of his videos until a few days ago. I quite enjoyed them. It is a testament to Youtube’s algorithms that none of his videos ever showed up in my “recommended videos” list. His channel would probably have tens of thousands more subscriptions by now if the bastards weren’t screwing him over.
When England is gain happily divided into many kingdoms, the House of Morgoth will reign from his seat in Tyneside and his line shall be known as Protectors of the North.
But first the poor bastard has to show us his quality by catching a proper fish…
Where does Scruton discuss Losing my Religion? I would like to read that.
All popular songs are about the IT, of course. They have no universal meaning. Losing Religion is about Bobby Fischer who was always in religious angst, similar to Tell Me All your Thoughts on Dog. Even the band names are merely “messages.” The Blues Traveler song Hook deals with this topic regarding Bobby. The scene with Anthony Hopkins in Under Silver Lake too deals with this and another critic. Otherwise not so great a movie.
That said, if one understands the context, the lyrics are poetic and meaningful. The reality gives them an urgency and mystery that arises to a strange beauty, but it’s only accessible to the few
