123 - A Clock is a Spider Missing Some Legs

For part two of our discussion of Michael Heizer's 'City,' Kris asks the question: what makes a city a city? Is the city's purpose tied into the "feel" of it? Are people the main component, or are cities built first, with the intention of herding people around? This is a great critique of Heizer's massive project, the first of its kind that I've ever seen. We also talk the origins of "beaver" as a euphemism, the City Museum of St. Louis, the credo of the Space Family Robinson, and "antonym therapy." David is tasked with taking us on a journey to a Mythic Destination in America...it involves apple pie and the descendants of Paul Bunyan.
