Where are we now?
Thor Harris
I’m Thor Harris ,a musician from Austin Texas . A Texas native who has played with SWANS , Bill Callahan, Shearwater, Arthur Brown , Ben Frost , Devendra Banhart and many others . Once expelled from Twitter for an instructional video on how to punch a Nazi .
Born in 1965 I have seen the disastrous missteps of the US government as well as others around the world . Touring the world in bands for 30 years has given me perspective. I will continue to fight for my government to take climate change seriously, but so far , nothing I have tried has slowed our careening toward self-destruction. I am less than eager to return to my jet setting ways after this pandemic ( if it ever ends ). But I do miss traveling especially to Ireland. In this 30 minute meditation I play electric kalimba thru a Poly Octave Generator while saying essentially “ I know nothing “. Miss y’all ,
