He wrote Iron John.
Yeah.
Amazing book.
He was like the Mr. Men's movement, guys drumming in the woods.
And I went to Moose Lodge, and I was invited.
So you met him.
I did one of the men's weekends, drumming in the woods with Robert and the guys.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, we danced.
We did Sufi dances together.
Drumming in the woods, and he was tribal.
Anyway, listen, so there was a wonderful shaman.
I got to tell you this story.
We're getting so straight, but I just love this story.
So he brought in Blyde.
He had all these guys, boomer, guys in their 50s and 60s, me included, and he trucked in Bloods and Crips, not only teenagers, but teenagers from urban gangs.
to do this thing.
And he really strongly believed that older men needed to teach younger men how to be on the planet.
There was an initiation that was missing in our culture.
And Martin Prechtel, the shaman, as these kids were getting off the bus, I love this.
