Paradiso is very much alive. I believe that the last time MP played the main venue was in 2010, HMF tour
One of the things I fail to understand is how continued (economic) growth in the long run could ever be consistent with the fact that our planet does not increase in size.
Unless from evolutionary perspective we accept that sooner or later our species will collapse.
What's striking to me is that there does not seem to be a single country that substantially explores this problem, let alone substantially transitions into the new balance that would be required. Yes, plenty of great initiatives on climate adaptation, plastic soup, eating animals, poverty reduction, sustainable entrepreneurship, etc., but in the end most likely futile as long as economic growth is perceived an axiom we cannot do without.
I'd be interested in Norman & Punj's views on this. Is any of us here familiar with the concept of doughnut economics?
Meanwhile, lets's not forget why we are here, so please do continue the much more interesting discussion on how Rush is inspired by Motorpsycho
One of the best books I have ever read is the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. As far as possible, it has made me understand the state of the world as it currently is, based on recent history and including the development of modern day geopolitics.
Probably not a coincidence but fun to mention anyway: 577 backers!
Weirdo Canyon Dispatch with bits of MP:

The Roadburn show was absolutely magical. The guys played the main stage which is a huge venue, capacity about 3000. Even though it was still early and beautifully sunny & hot outside, there must have been over 1500 inside for MP and they were just into it. People from all over the world, coming to this special festival, and on that day being exposed to Motorpsycho. Young, middle aged, older, men, women, girls, boys, a wonderfully mixed crowd. It was a joy to see Motorpsycho perform and the response they got. Front rows to way back & balconies. Imagine that during the quieter parts you could hear a pin drop. With 1500 people present! A thing I had never experienced so strongly as during this festival. No better proof I think of how passionate and respectful Roadburners are about music and particularly about what they witnessed during MPs show.
