Doubt

The pitch does change, yes, and the narrator's voice is still the same, but I have doubts that it's Hesse. That's just me, though.[/QUOTE]

You're so right and accurate most of the time that we have to razz you when you're wrong. I hope you don't be a baby about it. I don't see how that can sound like a woman to anyone, in fact it sounds a lil like Roger Taylor to me, does he sound like a woman to you, Lester? I guess so. If a source says its Hesse, thats good enough for me lol.

Silly fool, it's a woman.

lol

Are you drunk?

I just listened to it and it does sound a like a woman towards the end more so than the beginning but thats because theres a double track going thats sped up or something. If it is a woman I imagine she was very large and older. Not a hot young bird like Kiera Knightly

I bought the bootleg LP which contains this version of WWRY back in the 1980's (sold it since but know have it on CD), i recall that it also had a different version of See What A Fool I've Been. The lady who does the narration at the begining of WWRY is the former Radio 1 DJ, Annie Nightingale.

Thanks for the link, Bohardy. I searched all chapters for "Buddha did not deny" and "Buddha didn't deny" and there are no results. If the online version is complete and if there are no other English translations with totally different words (but there are not many alternatives for "deny existence") it's safe to say that the spoken words are not from the novel Siddharta.

after skimming the paperback quite a few times last night, I also searched the web engine on the link, but NOTHING for 'mocked,' 'rituals,' 'deluded,' or 'spirit,' so I'm guessing the text is from an introduction to a particular edition of Siddartha. 'Universe' came up with only one hit but the passage was different.

great question, this one's fun :)

So Lester owns again. Man, I bow to him. But not in a sacraligious way.
