[rec.music.gaffa] Suspended in Gaffa

Really-From: Julian.West@mac.dartmouth.edu


   Listening to _Heads_We're_Dancing_ several times a day does funny
   things to my minds, so maybe I just imagined this, but didn't someone
   yesterday link the words "Suspended in Gaffa" to the writings of
   Gurdjieff in an offhand and somewhat suspicious manner?

   Fifteen minutes in the Gurdjieff section of the Dartmouth Library
   failed to turn up anything, but I didn't sit there and read _Beelzebub_
   cover to cover.  I'd be very surprised if there were anything there,
   simply because you would think that anyone would know this after
   seven years.  

   Still, I'd appreciate a clarification from whomever dropped that
   particular name.

I think you're thinking of my reference last week about my long-ago
relating the title "Suspended in Gaffa" (not the lyrics) with
Aldous Huxley's book "Eyeless in Gaza".  No relationship implied
other than the symmetry of the two, which was the cause of my
initial confused (and long-abandoned) belief that there might be a
connection.

That has to my all time favorite song - but I don't have the lyrics - being
the poor student that I am I bought the Dreaming (LP) for $5 and it came 
with a see through sleeve - am I mising something? - other than the lyrics

Suspended...just gives me chills everytime I listen to it - the way the music
swells just before the chorus...wow...and then that voice!!!! I'm listening
to it right now - just incredible! here it comes the  chorus again!!

Well, it's a bit weak on plot, but the distribution is ok.
     Peace,
