The Mind's Ear Program #37: "Regret This Very Day, Volume V"
On November 18th, 1978 (40 years ago today), 918 people perished in what has come to be known as "The Jonestown Massacre". "Regret This Very Day: Volume V" documents the tragic end of The Peoples Temple. When events are recorded, they are preserved for posterity much like fossils in a museum. In listening to recordings from the past, we can relive the events they captured in a spectral way--as a set of invisible ghost ears that can observe the events as they unfolded, but not alter them in any way. In Guyana, Jim Jones had a hand-painted sign hung above his rostrum which read: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it". This program was produced in remembrance of the past.
This program was produced by Ernestus Jiminy Chald.
Tune in to The Minds Ear every Saturday night at 9 p.m. (PST) and every Sunday night at 7 p.m. (PST) on Free Radio Santa Cruz (101.3 FM).
