"Greetings my friends, we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives, whether we want to or not".

We all love <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Criswell" target="_blank">Jeron Criswell</a>, the LA psychic and TV and radio personality, now best known for his appearance in Ed Wood's <em>Plan 9 From Outer Space</em> and, as it happens, a key player in Ken Hollings'<em> <a href="http://www.strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/shop_WTM.html" target="_blank">Welcome to Mars</a>.</em>

Now<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1sF7E422yM" target="_blank"> here he is</a> on the Johnny Carson show (and not for the first time) on New Year's Eve 1965, which was about as much exposure as one could gain for yourself at the time. He prognosticates on the year ahead, talking about Moon landings, nude ranches and the discovery of the Hollow Earth.
