..........TO Hidden GROK!
ALL sections updated 2/7/2010!
DEFINITION: To grok (pronounced GRAHK) something is to understand something so well that it is fully absorbed into oneself. In Robert Heinlein's science-fiction novel of 1961, Stranger in a Strange Land, the word is Martian and literally means "to drink" but metaphorically means "to take it all in," to understand fully, or to "be at one with." Today, grok sometimes is used to include acceptance as well as comprehension - to "dig" or appreciate as well as to know.
NOTE: It has been almost a year and a half since the last Grok Fanzine. Well Dammit, we have one in the works right now. With a August release date, we expect this to be a monster issue! Full color ads, music news, new releases and Zeppelin secrets so amazing that we can't even mention them on this web site. How do you get a copy??
