…this Metzger is the founder of Disinformation portal to left-wing politics, critic of mainstream media, publisher and midnight “head fuck” TV series.
Dan (
Richard is a modern Robert Leroy Ripley (believe it or not) and his work usually focuses on the weird and unusual, subjects close to my heart.He showed a few segments from the series he did for the BBC before answering questions.
Interesting facts:
- When the conservative financial backer of disinfo.com discovered that the site wasn’t just about UFO’s, paranoids and weirdos but in fact held a strong left-wing bias Richard blackmailed him to save it.
- Dan discovered DMT and I’m again reconsidering soberity.
- When crazy people see themselves being interviewed on TV they’re never worried that they look crazy, they’re more concerned with the production elements, like lighting.
Afterward, Nicco and I talked in person for the first time in about six years. It was a worthwhile trip and I think that future expeditions to LA are definitely in order.
but your audio engineer made me sound like I am.

I *heart* Richard Metzgar… but man, in that picture he looks like he’s contemplating a decidedly grotesque murder.

Not anymore it’s not. Re-evolution is gone. I drove by today, and it looks like it’s been gone for a while. Can’t say I’m surprised. Niche bookstores that service paranoids and wackos can’t stay in business when B&N will carry the same psycho alternative books. It’s hard being a rebel when the marketplace embraces it’s own detractors and critics.
