As a fan of both Alan Moore and RAW, I was really interested in this, but I can't understand a fucking word he's saying. Anyone have a transcript?

RAW was the greatest.

empath: Do you listen to Alan Moore's spoken word? The accent is a bit to get through, and he piles images pretty high, but guess I am used to the accent, as I can make it out fine.

Not a fast enough typer to do a transcript though (and that would probably be a copyright issue regardless).

I, for one, am thoroughly disappointed that this is the first use of the  tag.

What tag? I don't see what you're talking about.

I confess to tittering at the term "beardie-weirdies", a neologism I was not familiar with. When I was in college the popular moniker was the more sedate "beard-o".

I don't think it's possible for me to dislike anything written by Alan Moore, or his beard*.

* - His beard has been doing all the work since about 1994.

I could go for a transcript as well. Seconding tag shock.
