Colin Wilson, A Saint of Consciousness

Do you want to be blown away? A prerequisite to enjoying the following interview with deceased author Colin Wilson, would be if you had a BA in humanities or you enjoy TED Talks regulary. Wilson, who died before TED Talks existed, would have been a star of the scene. See if you disagree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WWeE1GnZjA . Thespians and Anglophiles of all sorts should also enjoyhis mellifluous, avuncular cadence and timbre of his accent. Maybe Gary Lachman, a Wilson expert, can tell us from where the accent comes. (Is it BBC?, the linqua franca accent of Britain. Is it Oxford, London, House of Commons., etc. I've heard it a lot but never pinned it. It's King's English, but closer to the theater, church and museums, rather than the court at Buckminister palace and the House of Lords, the accent of which more pinched and garbled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WWeE1GnZjA .  - Tom Huckabee
