ABOUT
DALE O'BRIEN
DOC CHIRON
*No
M.D., no Ph.D., no D.D., no D. of C., No Inc., not on TV
(but he stood on one once to paint a ceilin')....
Said to
Hail from Big Toe, Alabama, Doc used to sing the praises of "Doc
Chiron's Panacea
Nostrum
Elixir" in a travellin' med'cine show
that never sold even a single bottle of snake oil. Doc was sometimes
musically accompanied by the likes of g'itar-strummer Rusty Bumpers...
By the way, did you know that a bottle of "snake oil" was
once chemically analyzed and said to contain petroleum? It was touted
as the cure for everything, even "problems" that people
didn't know they had. I guess some people can fool all of the people,
then and now... Patriarch Rockefeller was purportedly involved with
its sale at one time, the same daddy who supposedly used to cheat
his own sons, sayin' it's the only way they'll ever learn... But
as Doc would say of himself, "...but I digress...."
He was
also the master of ceremonies for THE MOUNTAIN ASTROLOGER'S PLANET
CAMP
talent show, playin' the role of what he called "The I.C." that
is, "the low point of entertainment" --- but hey, that
was before Reality TV and such, but as Ol' Doc would say, "...but
I digress, yet ag'in...."
Once a DJ from
listener-sponsored KRVM-FM in Eugene, Oregon let Doc choose some tunes for part of "Breakfast With the Blues."
Doc has performed
AstroDrama frequently over the years, and still very much likes to
do...
Nowadays,
DOC is a CELESTIAL MECHANIC, providin' cosmic tune ups, re-curvering
and re-balancing "out of round" wheels, wherever and however
he "kin"....
*Doc
holds 360 degrees, one for each of the Zodiac, also known as the
Sabian Symbols, which he has studied, spoken about and written about
for at least 25 years. |
