I don't have the date for this, but I suspect it is from the late 70s or, more likely, sometime in the 80s.
Okay, I have a date for this article now. I was just looking through a February, 1976, issue of Rolling Stones and came across an ad for the upcoming March issue of Oui magazine, wherein this article is highlighted. So it was published in the March, 1976, issue of Oui magazine. Doc
You know, I'm not sure. Knowing Eddie I suspect he at least borrowed heavily from his book in putting this article together. Doc
BS, Good to see you, my friend. I wish you the very merriest times of Christmas and the peace and goowdwill that accompanies it. :smile:
I've only read the original edition of Sanders' book, which was published in 1971, which obviously was published before this piece was written. I've not seen the updated version of "The Family", which came out in 1986 or so. It's possible a lot of the "updates" originated with this article. Maybe someone with the newer edition can confirm or deny that? I do note that this is written in a much different style than the original "Family" book was; it doesn't have Sanders' "hip"-sounding literary style he employed in the book. This is written in a dry, journalistic voice. As an aside, while Sanders' book is full of bizarre speculations that have since been discredited, I'll still say it is one of my favorite books. Between the off-base speculations, he did cram a lot of verifiable facts: names, addresses, locations that are invaluable as a starting point for those who wish to dig deeper into arcana. Nice find; Oui magazine was actually one of the best men's magazines of the 1970's; I know it's a cliche, but even as a teenager, I really did buy it as much for the articles as for the girls
