SOS Robert Anton Wilson

This is from lupabitch's lj, she got it from the_four_powers

We've sent a small amount, and will help more as we're able. This man changed my life. I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't discovered his work in 1977. I can't stand by and see a brilliant life end this way. Please help.

While RAW is admittedly one of my favorite humans on the planet, and the Trigger is required reading, I feel, for anyone even thinking about setting their foot upon the path, I do have to wonder if this may be anything like the now famous reports of his death from a few years back.

I will look into this, though.

Ok, I officially feel like an ass.

Bob appears to not be doing well. I want to cry. RAW changed my life, and for that I am immeasurably indebted to him. I will send something the moment I am able.

Does this mean you were able to confirm that this is not a scam?

[broddhisatva]

I've confirmed through Paul Krassner's blog that RAW is under hospice care.

I've confirmed through Doug Rushkoff's blog that he's in dire straits financially.

And I've confirmed that RAW's own homepage (http://www.rawilson.com) confirms both Paul and Doug's assertions as to Bob's current state of affairs.

My mojo is with him until I can send something in its place. That man popped my cosmic cherry, and I owe him so much more than sympathy.

Wow, sad to hear that RAW is in such pain. My best to him.

I will re-post this in my LJ and on Tribe.
