I discovered this Easter Egg the other day. It's a recording of Neil Gaiman at the age of seven talking about Scientology, and it's quite "interesting." If you're a fan of Neil and have read Ocean at the End of the Lane, you should listen to it. If anything he speaks with eloquence. I can't say that I'm surprised.
I've got a Mormon family and I'm atheist. It's not a big deal unless my family members try to send missionaries to my door! lol
ReplyDeleteI knew he was Jewish but didn't realise he'd also been brought up as a Scientologist. Must have been an interesting childhood.

awww...I saw Neil Gaiman the other week. He was giving a talk about all things writerly and 'The Ocean at the end of the Lane'. I even got a signed copy :)...
ReplyDeleteNeil is a pretty slick fella. I had no idea he had a Scientologist background.
ReplyDeleteI love the part where he realizes he used to have a Sussex accent. I guess he grew out of it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhich part are you not surprised about?
ReplyDelete@Andrew: That Neil could speak so eloquently at the age of 7.
ReplyDeleteawww crap, i can't watch the video. I wish i could. I know Neil doesn't like to talk anymore about his youth in scientology and his father's connection to it still.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. When I was his age my head was full of much more trivial things.

I love how it can solve all problems expect for Stephen!
ReplyDeleteThat was an amazing interview. So sad he got kicked out of school as a child.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gem!
ReplyDeleteVery neat interview!
ReplyDeleteWill have to come back and watch that when I have some time later. (I'm so slammed this week...)
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that he was more articulate at age 7 than I am now.
