Really-From: Andy Hynes <ahynes@axion.british-telecom.co.uk> Dear All, Could someone please KasT some light on the song "Cloudbusting" for me. When I first heard it I was under the impression that it was just about some mad scientist and his daughter who liked experimenting with the weather, for which the scientist was locked up. But then I got my hands on a word sheet and I find that instead of the last few words in the song being "Your sun's coming out" they are in fact "Your SON'S coming out". This would imply, to me, that childbirth is commencing. What child ? Who's child ? I will apologise in advance if this subject has been discussed before. Andy. __________ | | o _________________________________________ | |/| / \ | | | | Andy Hynes, RT3121. | |________| | | British Telecom Research Laboratories, | || | | Martlesham Heath, | || | | Ipswich, ENGLAND IP5 7RE. | || O __| | ____ /__ Tel: (0473) 646099 | / __ \ ____// | Email: ahynes@axion.bt.co.uk | | | | | __/____/ \_________________________________________/ | |__| |/__/ \____/// ======== | | \ / | | ____|__|____

The same thing occurs in the song ``The Kick Inside'' why not in a `popular' song. Ho, hum... what do I know? I just listen to the words. nicK

When I first heard the song, I thought it was about a girl who becomes pregant by her father and has his son (and grandson). It turned out to be much less incestuous, however.... |>oug

From my understanding of Peter Reich's book "A Book Of Dreams", I would suggest that this is refering to himself "coming out", in the sense of admitting to the world, at last, that he IS the son of Wilhelm Reich. It is also, in Kate's usage, somewhat of a double meaning, in that it can also refer to the sun. There was so much publicity surrounding W. Reich after his death, both as a "quack" and as an eminent scientist (depending on different people's opinions!) that Peter Reich felt, initially, that he couldn't openly admit to being P. Reich's son. By the end of the book, he had come to terms this and felt proud to be W. Reich's son. By the way, there is NO daughter. Only one son. Ant in Chicago. ----- End Forwarded Message -----

"Everyone" knows 'Cloudbusting' is based on _The_Book_of_Dreams_ by Peter Reich son of Dr. Wilheim Reich. The lyrics are sung from from his perspective. I correct myself, he did have a daughter by the name of Eva.
