Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, January 06, 2009

A university professor believes that Stonehenge was created for neolithic raves. The standing stones had the ideal acoustics for "repetitive trance rhythms," said Rupert Till, an expert in acoustics and music technology.

Rockin' in the pre-Metallica age.

Univ Prof just got his 15 minutes.

Could've saved those Neolithic boyz n' gurlz lots of fuss and bother. We did pretty much the same thing by kicking a rectangular barbecue grill attached to two pieces of plastic clothesline held in our ears. Of course, we were also righteously stoned.

I've read so much on the "real" purpose of stone henge lately, makes me wonder where this guys head has been. His whole write up makes no mention of the celestial importance of the henge. Binges tended to be for a day or two, what did they do there the rest of the time (years) while they waited for the correct star location to place the rocks?

Maybe they got so hammered they guessed? Not likely

What a bozo.

Doc....uhm sir.....what the fuck are you talking about? a bbq grill, clothesline, ears. huhhhh?

all i want to know is, 'how big are your ears'?

hay doc, you still are.

I thought it was a landing site for our reptoid overlords.

I'm so disappointed now.

Actually, according to David Icke the reptoid overlords are already here and living deep beneath the earth controlling everything with their awesome psionic powers.

You must be thinking of the race of giant Space Ants who will come one day from the stars to battle the Reptoids fer ultimate control of the human population.

And Spud fer one welcomes our new alien overlords and is more than willing to toil endlessly for them in their ginormous sugar mines.

/Beats catching flies fer the Reptoids

On Topic?

Actually, on a recent archeological dig in the Jolly Ole Land of Eng Spud discovered a 1500 hundred year old CD that seems to confirm the professor's theory.

Silly? Okay maybe, but Spud never started it.

Be Well.

hay doc, you still are.


Gawd I wish I was. Semi-respectable these days.

I thought it was a place where naked hippies could lay out and stare up at the sky while stoned.

screw stonhenge.

they were having wayyy more fun on the mongolian plateau:

legalize everything

as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else


Of course, we were also righteously stoned.

Who's to say they weren't?

I bet there all kinds of swell hallucinagenic drugs out there...somewhere.

Hollow Earth theory is just..well..eesh.

I welcome our new reptoid overlords.

I wonder if the ancients also used ecstacy, cocaine, GHB, marijuana, and rohypnol
at their Stonehenge neolithic raves?

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Ecstasy....no
Cocaine...no...new world and all
GHB....no
marijuana...maybe
rohypnol....no, that's your Friday night, Chrissy.

You're really a guy, aren't you, Chrissy?

marjane yes.

check out my link you stoners

The idea of it being used for for it's acoustics seems reasonable and plausible, at least as much as any of the other proposed uses I've heard but using the term 'Raves' to describe the past events really detracts from the story and his credibility.

They probably were too, remember the 2700 year old stash of weed they found in the gobi desert?

bah VSHER beat me too it.

In ancient times...
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people... the Druids

No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock... Of Stonehenge

Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge! Where a man's a man
And the children dance to the Pipes of Pan

Hey!

Stonehenge! 'Tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
Stonehenge! Where the virgins lie
And the prayers of devils fill the midnight sky

And you my love, won't you take my hand?
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there, I will show you how

Oh!

And oh how they danced
The little children of Stonehenge
Beneath the haunted moon
For fear that daybreak might come too soon

And where are they now?
The little people of Stonehenge
And what would they say to us?
If we were here... tonight

Reptoids? I thought they were called Reptillians.

Joseph Campbell stated that from research he had seen the culture in Europe which produced the cave paintings was far and away the longest lasting human culture, lasting over 100,000 years. Stonehenge was part of that, a wonderful time of nature mysticism.
