Meditation on control--contrasting displays of power--fiction vs. reality--with musical withdrawal. And then along came Jones. Pretty rough at times.

It Is Not Dying
I've had a copy of the Jonestown tape for many years but then I got this incredibly clean crystal clear version (you can even hear Jones' lisp), from the FBI itself! It's just like being there. Add the Bad Lieutenant scene to contrast a fictional power play with the Reverend's lies and "turn off your mind relax and float downstream -- it is not dying." What a legacy!
