Breaking radio silence to note the passing of Peter Brock, the racing legend known for his bizarre links to psychoanalytic Marxism. Yep, I’m talking about the “Energy Polariser” used in his modified Holdens, which apparently ran on Wilhelm Reich‘s “orgone energy” — the subject of Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting”. (Yeah, and it’s the same Wilhelm Reich who wrote The Mass Psychology of Fascism.) We love ya, Brockie.

Yeah, well by the time Reich was on his orgone trip, I think he’d pretty much left Marxism for whacky new age pseudoscience, but hey, that has its own charms!
