The Meaning of Life - - Or Not





This is just a pause, not a full posting exactly since I did very little work.  It's quotations from the NUJV Lennon.  "New Unknown John Vocalist"  I'll give you another hint even though his identity is pretty obvious by now.  He is associated with the "Colors" planet Black Bart identified.  The first quote (in red) is mine.  The Beatle experts dispute the recording date saying this song was later in the spring.  What if it turns out I'm right?


About my only "visual" on the Beatles [of the post 1960 variety i e], and maybe I dreamed it, was when they had just finished up a long recording session.  (I think I sang "I'll Cry Instead" but I'm probably dreaming)  And we were going out the door kind of reflecting on what we had accomplished and Ringo goes, "Yeah, It's been a hard days - - " and then we are all surprised to see it's pitch dark outside and the lights, and he adds "Night".


A lot of people want to make films and do photography and things, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing. (You aren't living up to your potential, and you definitely have that)

Fairy-tales are nice. (Fairy tales are for girls with father fixations)

Getting used to the studio and everything was fun, we freaked about alot. I was working very hard then.

Have you seen the roses? There's a whole lot of colours.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them. (That's the way to do it)
I don't really read a lot. Maybe I should. (Believe it or not, I'm an amazingly lazy reader)

I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.  (ditto for me and President Obama)

I like songs that are simple.  (That's not true)

I never felt so close to a guitar as that silver one with mirrors that I used on stage all the time.

I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people. (Absolutely)

I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any.

I wasn't always this introverted. (I definitely believe that)

I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends. (From what I've read your relatives had a regular monetary feeding fest after you passed)

I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I'm full of dust and guitars.

I'm sorry I can't speak very coherently.

I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time.

I've just had an operation, but nothing too serious.

If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.

It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point.





Living in Cambridge, with nature and everything, it's so clean.

The only work I've done the last two years is interviews. I'm very good at it.

When we parted I had written everything for the group. My leaving sort of evened things out within the group.

Today we are doing double duty.  Right now it's time for a Reality check.  Yes that is Syd Barret.  The guy who likes the Rolling Stones and the Kinks and the Yardbirds, or did when he was alive anyhow and I imagine he still does.  I'd like to see his art work.  I'm sure I can find that if I look.

GETTING ANSWERS

I see the morning light
I see the morning liiight
Well it's not because I'm an early riser
I didn't get to bed last night

The following notice used to appear in "Vinyl Remakes" before I just took it out as utterly unnecceesry.  The reason is apparent.  "Let Me Die in my Footsteps" is not a long song.  It's only three & a half minutes.  I had the idea from somewhere it was over six minutes.  Also "Things Don't Happen Like That Nowadays" is a shorter song than I imagined it was.  These two things combined enables the songs to be exactly as listed.

As an addendum for a "dirty trick" I intend to play on the people who get this album actually on vinyl rather than the CD, let's use the Whitmark tape version of "Footsteps" because since side two of the Vinyl does run "awfully long" let's shorten it up a bit, by having Dylan interrupt himself and termanate this track to it doesn't run too long on viny.  The CD people get the whole song.


We want answers to a lot of things in life.  Christians tell you if you remain with the Faith you will get all of the answers to questions you are seeking in full.  Not a one of them has been answered.  We were led to believe the Mysteries of Daniel 11 would be revealed in progressive phases along the lines of "Every day see one more card".  I guess those cards must be stuck together with crazy glue.  No answers.  We were told we would get the answers to 9 - 11 in time.  Not a one has revealed.  We were told by certain conservative people "The President knows things are a whole lot worse as far as terrorism and he's not telling us so as not to panic us."  We are still waiting.  We never found those "weapons of mass destruction".  Then don't exist.  We were told new archaeological evidence would soon "prove" Christianity.  It didn't.  Not a one.  i was vaguely told by Dad that "once I realized I was scitzofrenic" or whatever I'd see all the errors in judgements about people I made when I was younger, not in so many words but he implied it.  That never happened.  I was told 14 months ago I would encounter "certain problems" if I pursued my push for increased financial independence.  No problems occurred.  We were told of some horrible tapes that that Britebart guy was going to reveal that would utterly Ruin his chances at reelection, and maybe the left did him in because of that.  There was nothing incrimidating on that tape at all.  It was just Obama introducing the first tenured Black professor who had worked with Thurgred Marshall when he was younger.  Glen Beck told us that by now we would be having Wymar Republic style inflation because of the president's FED "remoniterization policies".  We didn't. We were told things by Sylvia Brown about the "wall between the dead ones and the living getting thinner and thinner till it disappears".  Where is Sylvia Brown now?  Retired?  Or maybe she's in prison convicted of fraud or something.  Quino sabe?


And some of us will go on to Sing-Sing Prison
And some of us will grow up to be lawyers and things
And some will be right here to meed You at your crossroads
From inside the walls - - the Walls of Red Wing.
