Anyone have any good spoken word to recommend? My favorite kind are things inspired by the psychedelic generation and/or nature. I have two of Timothy Leary's albums, like those, especially "You can be anything this time around". I also really dig this guy: http://www.richshapero.imeem.com/ who mixes primal themes with beautiful wilderness descriptions. I have "The Ram - Wild Animus" by him.

I don't know if it's what you have in mind but Jeff Buckley did a killer version of Edgar Allan Poe's "Ulalume." You might get it on Limewire or one of those.

Gore Vidal, surely, way out at the top of the list.
Allen Ginsberg.
Garrison Keillor.

Cool! Thanks for the recommendation. Will have to check this out. I am definitely looking for bizarre things - things where the format is unique and the message is something I agree with. Like, I like "The Ram" because it is melodic and musical, yet parts are very difficult to listen to, and those parts are where I feel most drawn to the message (a return to our instinctual nature).
