Raid. Kills Bugs Dead.

A long standing claim is that Lew Welch (my favourite beat poet) wrote the well known advertising slogan "Raid. Kills Bugs Dead." Who knows, but in an idle moment of surfing I found that someone had posted the original 1956 TV advert. So, for no reason other than it offers an eccentric beat poetry footnote here it is. Enjoy - if enjoy is the right word!



I'll try again to get last Sunday's address up tomorrow while I write this coming Sunday's one . . .

My name is Andrew James Brown. I’m a philosophically/theologically inclined writer with sympathies towards Shin’ichirō Imaoka’s understanding of free religion (自由宗教), Christian atheism, D. G. Leahy’s “thinking now occurring for the first time”, a Lucretian inspired religious naturalism, new materialism and Kyoto School philosophy; also a photographer, cyclist, walker and jazz bass player. In addition to this, I’m the minister of a small, liberal, free religious community in Cambridge (UK)
