Absolutely. Totally, totally agree. If only he was around today, having access to information we have and the internet. Gordon Childe 'came too soon'. And people don't know of him...see June above. Right brain, wrong time. I chanced upon him as mentioned, by a little mention in small print on a semi-obscure album cover, listened closely those lyrics of Harper's - you need to hear the album version of The Lord's Prayer, the declaiming monologue at the start sets the scene - followed up by finding the book namechecked, and treasure it. Someone of huge intelligence, and yes, human therefore sometimes fallible - and we can't have that, now, can we? Me? I forgive honest mistakes and don't beat those who make them into the ground - capable of imparting his 'take' on history with great lucidity in a way that Joe Public could understand. If only he was on television now. An Unsung Great Mind. In my opinion.
