Welcome
The True Origins
of The Moon
Kne
evening at the River, we were discussing the crying need for an alternative
magazine. One that was totally unpredictable and didn't have to answer
to advertisers. One that didn't have a hoary reputation to protect, and
therefore could publish whatever it deemed fit. One that didn't have a
clue what "good taste" was all about. One that, in short, couldn't possibly
exist except in the realm of the unfettered imagination. Random Factor
(almost his real name), who was very keen on the idea, thought there was
a niche market for an "underground" journal amongst his contemporaries.
Compared to the rest of us ancient hippie-types, Random is barely out of
his diapers at 26. Antares wasn't particularly interested in working on
an "underground" magazine. "I think what we really need is to go overground,"
he said. "You know, something sort of... transcendental?" The next
question was what to call the damn thing. The Magick River Babbler
was a possibility. Libida Gay (almost her real name) was working for the
Star at the time. And Rayban Rancid (not at all his real name)
was hacking it at the Sun, a recently launched daily. Like all crazy
ideas, the predestined name rose over the horizon and began to glow. "Hey,
let's call it the Moon!" Antares said. And thus it came to pass
that The Moon waxed lyrical over the Magick River website.
