First lightning strikes the Statue of Liberty
Wednesday in NYC, then an earthquake today; then a total eclipse on the anniversary
of the God is Dead issue of Time on Monday.
But although I like a good apocalypse as much as the next guy, I’ve got an oncologist appointment Monday during the eclipse so I’m gonna hope to be around on April 9th and beyond.
Why hope for the end?
You got the magical mystery tour…
…Up the 13 steps of the gallows walked the condemned man
And time passes very quickly when death is near
(Doctor, doctor) I’m in bed
(Doctor, doctor) achin’ head
(Doctor, doctor) gold is lead
(Doctor, doctor) choke on bread
(Doctor, doctor) underfed
(Doctor, doctor) gold is lead
(Doctor, doctor) Jesus bled
(Doctor, doctor) pain is red
(Doctor, doctor) dark doom
Gruel ghoul, greasy spoon
Used spool, June bloom
Music seems to help the pain
Seems to motivate the brain
Doctor, kindly tell your wife that I’m alive
Flowers thrive, realize
Realize, realize
Doesn’t gold is lead, sound a lot like God is Dead? I mean, Pink Floyd was there with the Beatles in ’67 in the studio, this is the one song on Piper not written by Syd Barrett, Roger Waters wrote this.
Note a key inside a triangle, with a clock below.
Listen to how the White Noise sounds like a football crowd…and then the music all abruptly ends with 0:03 left in the song.
The voice had been there all along
Hidden in the stones in the rivers
Hidden in all the books
Hidden in plain sight
It was the voice of reason
I wouldn’t guess Steve Miller to be privy to this, but why not I guess…but lo and behold it started in 1969 while hanging with the Beatles.

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
‘Til I’m free
Fly through the revolution
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Written with Paul McCartney in 1969
My dark hour
My dark hour
You know it’s drivin’ me wild
Well, well, I went (To see the doctor)
And I had (My fortune read)
And you know (The doctor told me)
“Son, you better stay in bed”
Who’s that comin’ a-down that road
Looks like he’s carryin’ a heavy load
What’s that word that he started to say?
“Wanna come with me on my way?”
My dark hour
Mother nature’s child
My dark hour
Oh, it’s drivin’ me wild
Well, I went (To see the doctor)
Just to have (My fortune read)
Well, well, well, well, well
(The doctor told me)
“Son, you better stay in bed”
So do you think these sinners will fall
Or do you think they’ll survive us all?
Well, well, well, well, a-down this road
Won’t you help me carry my load?
My dark hour
Mother nature’s child
My dark hour
Oh, it’s drivin’ me wild
Oh, mother nature’s child
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah…
“You wanna just tell the truth, but you’ve got to be guarded, to some extent. You know, all the people that come out with the truth normally get knocked down.”
–Paul McCartney
“Shedding light on the facts could lessen the band’s mystique, which Paul worked decades to create. Why threaten that by revealing one kernel of truth?“
Lots of interesting articles today…
…and another article. link
There are hundreds of books, documentaries, and interviews featuring The Beatles telling their stories. So, it’s better to get the details directly from them, rather than a fan who believes they know the truth.
The problem with this of course is the possibility that they haven’t been entirely forthright on certain topics…
a tad disingenuous maybe. And also in some cases, they left the clues.
How exactly, did they blow it?
Comments welcome…
Just as the man mentions 922g, all the lights go out in the Judiciary Committee hearing room. Spooky!
Cool
