Every month we have a list of notable birthdays on the Rabbit Rabbit Radio site. Wed like to add Albert Camus to Novembers Immortals. He is 100 today! Heres a quote of his thats wildly appropriate for this months RRR song and issue, inspired as they were by Andrew Forsthoefels epic 11-month walk from Pittsburgh to San Francisco. What gives value to travel is fear. It is the fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country…we are seized by a vague fear, and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. This is the most obvious benefit of travel. At that moment we are feverish but also porous, so that the slightest touch makes us quiver to the depths of our being. We come across a cascade of light, and there is eternity. This is why we should not say that we travel for pleasure. There is no pleasure in traveling, and I look upon it more as an occasion for spiritual testing... Pleasure takes us away from ourselves... Travel, which is like a greater and graver science, brings us back to ourselves. –Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942 Check out our latest issue at rabbitrabbitradio.
