Here’s a great interview with Doug Peacock. Mr. Peacock is a Vietnam veteran who suffered from PTSD. He has long been an environmental activist, and is credited for being, at least in part, the person who inspired the character George Washington Hayduke in Edward Abbey’s books The Monkey Wrench Gang and Hayduke Lives.

Amy Goodman was in Bozeman and participated in a fundraiser for our new radio station, Gallatin Valley Community Radio (KGLT). I have been mildly involved in the formation of this station, though others have done far more to make it happen.

Great stuff — I bookmarked it and will watch more as I have time. Hayduke will never die. Neither will Cactus Ed. Thanks Mark, and good luck with the station.

While I’m thinking of it, have you ever read a book called ‘The Abstract Wild’ by Jack Turner? He has some interesting ideas about our concepts of wilderness and wildness and how we relate, or don’t relate, to the natural world.
