SEG92@GENESEO.BITNET (the Talking Drum) (02/13/90)
Have you ever noticed that every once in a while, a song will literally define a facet of life you are in at that moment perfectly? For example: Elephant Talk by King Crimson. Check out them lyrics sometime. Do they, or do they not perfectly define this list? "Arguments./Agreements./advice/ answers/ articulate announcements. It's only talk." It gets better. The other day I was practicing with my band and I was singing the high vocal part to R.E.M.'s "Superman". Suddenly it dawned on me that those lyrics could have been specifically written by me (except, of course, that they weren't), and all the song needed was a few proper nouns . . . It was funny at the time and I laughed and messed up the vocal part. I guess you had to be there . . . --the talking drum
