THE FOLLOWING TRANSCRIPTION WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM AN OCTOBER 13, 1971 SCOTT THAYNE ON-AIR INTERVIEW FROM THE BROADCAST BOOTH AT FM-WBOR IN BOSTON. THE INTERVIEWER IS MR. JUSTIN CROW.      {“Paint It Black” bumper music} JUSTIN CROW: Hello, Boston, and welcome back to the Morning Crow on WBOR - Massachusetts's #1 FM rock authority. We've decided to add a little extra chill to the commute this morning by bringing into the studio controversial local author Scott Thayne, whose latest book of poems-- SCOTT THAYNE: Prose. JUSTIN CROW: I'm… sorry? SCOTT THAYNE: “Love's Noose” is a collection of prose. Poems are really for schoolgirls, are they not? JUSTIN CROW: Uh-huh. I see. Well. This latest collection of prose is-- SCOTT THAYNE: Thank you, Justin. JUSTIN CROW: --um, entitled “Love's Noose” and it, uh-- SCOTT THAYNE: Poe's masterpiece “The Raven” was thought of as merely the deranged lamentations of a hallucinogenic mind until shortly after the turn of this century. Now that Poe's dead, and no longer a current societal threat, his seminal work can now be considered poetry. If you take away the “r” and the “y”, then “poet” is just another four-letter word. JUSTIN CROW: I was just trying to plug your book, Mr. Thayne. SCOTT THAYNE: To whom? JUSTIN CROW: The WBOR listeners. {Laughs) Massachusetts's #1 FM rock audience. SCOTT THAYNE: Who are you talking about? Some drunken frat boy? A welfare teen knocked up more times than she has candles to blow on a birthday cake? JUSTIN CROW: Okay, Mr. Thayne - screw the book. {Laughs} SCOTT THAYNE: Now that's something relatable to this audience. Everyone listening out there has been screwed at some point in their life: financial, sexual, and everything else. JUSTIN CROW: Then you would say that people - average working Americans- can somehow relate to the concepts in your book? SCOTT THAYNE: Absolutely. We've all felt the things I conjure up with my prose. JUSTIN CROW: {Clears Throat; Reading} “I tracked the twins around the bend. And I sinned again… and again.” SCOTT THAYNE: Yes. One of my more recent efforts.   JUSTIN CROW: It's entitled: “Two if by Semen.” SCOTT THAYNE: A rather fantastical title, isn't it? JUSTIN CROW: Is that what rape is to you? SCOTT THAYNE: Those who cannot control their desires are called criminals. Those who channel their desires into fantasy are called human. JUSTIN CROW: {Clears Throat; Reading} “She was old enough to scream. And mister, that was old enough for me.” That delightful poem is called “Cherry.” Another example of fantasy, Mr. Thayne? SCOTT THAYNE: We oftentimes take what we want. It's the nature of our species. Money or sex, it matters not. JUSTIN CROW: So rapists and bank robbers are the same? SCOTT THAYNE: The only difference is what you can fit in your wallet when the experience is over. JUSTIN CROW: I see. Well, thank you for your time this morning, Mr. Thayne. The book, a collection of depraved prose, is called “Love's Noose” and is available on most local campuses. This is Justin Crow and you've been listening to WBOR in Boston…      {“Paint it Black” bumper music starts} COPYRIGHT 1971, WBOR BROADCASTING. USED BY PERMISSION.
