Doctor Feelgood

by

Leave it to Mötley Crüe to be the prophets of the age. In 1989 they recorded their high-test Doctor Feelgood disc that contained the lead single by the same name. Besides being a musical treat, the song foretells (or retells) a very old story. Living amongst us, in the pit of our deepest worries, is the man that can make it all go away. We aren’t necessarily certain as to how he actually does it, but we really want to believe that he can do it. Even if it’s a hoax, that is just fine. We need a visit, every once-in-awhile, from the good Doctor Feelgood. It is the messianic story. And he is the agent in Joseph Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces. The chorus of the tune goes like this:

Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He's the only one they call ‘Feelgood’

So, what does Dr. Feelgood’s tell us? Please, pull up a chair.

1. All of our overwrought fears are completely unwarranted, senseless and harmful.
2. We can all lock arms and work in a symphonic fashion to solve for any issues we might face.
3. The data is “on his side” and that he (Dr. Feelgood) has a Gnostic understanding of its meaning.
4. Everyone’s interests are
