I do think he has a talent.
One never knows. There are too many possibilities.
I think one should take from it what is pleasing, and move on.
Life is too short.

I think it is a statement about morality-but maybe larger. Rand's assertion that man strive for perfection . a critical response to this is man's inability to be perfect, therefore an unattainable goal-there is no solution(stuck and paid a high price to boot). and I'm not sure what the chastisement is-but, I bet there's one in there for us, maybe about (Rand) never intending "followers" or would not want the discussion of Objectivism tainted by producers' (in here) real life concerns over how they manage the freedom slide in the US-outside of philosophical discussion. Of course, I would turn that back, if that is the chastisement. what do you think?
I'm frankly stuck on the 12 sails. I think it's about Christianity-and ineffectual-ity, but hell, it could be top 12 point earners in here and inability to make anything important happen in the world (sails opposed to engines). we also had a discussion in here for fun about becoming pirates. the very kind of discussion that would annoy jml (the firehouse effect post)

I like it! It is brain food. But, who is to be the arbiter of what is need and what is want? If you earned it, it is not for me to decide...
How do you read " Perfect is your prison price."?

I don't care-I love it! makes my wheels turn and I enjoy the defiant tone. take the first line:
" $ are abundant. Words are copper. Desperate hearts are the shopper.'
we have the visual dollar sign, so stamp of AS, the dollar, worth of money, plenty to go around, printed paper. " words are copper". value of copper, all that penny implies, AS stamp, copper is the taste of blood-blood money, blood words, fighting words, "desperate hearts are the shopper" in here is the chastisement- he has been clear before that he sees success as distinguished between need and want, and questions many in here over their pursuits, both monetarily and what is said- but in a broader context, a cultural statement
what do you think?

It was 2112! Fleetingly cool. ;-)

Cool! I remember the first time I heard "Working Man."
I guess that's what I am...

I checked and it was 2115. If it was 2112, yes, very cool. I guess 'you rock'? :)

Hey, just an aside but pertinent, LOOK at my points total!! Cool!!

Good one! ;-)

Ha! The top had these sliding doors, horizontal, so the turntable was inside, and yes! It had all those knobs. I think it was a requirement, lol!

Yes, I liked it as I interpreted it, but with jml I wonder sometimes if he is making an assertion or a chastisement. It is the intent I am uncertain of, taken in context with his previous entry...

actually this one is quite moving and chock full good stuff. I like it-but why not take credit for it? the other one was a rant mostly at DK and myself.

Howdy partner, Got any more? Tell me what it means to you.

Yes, I see the similarity in prose.
I wondered what became of him. He is quite challenging, though I find his poetry to be ambiguous enough to question intent.

That is great. Regarding Gilmour, I think one of the most under-appreciated solos of his is the beginning of the 2nd half of Wish You Were Here. Just amazing, gives me chills.

are we talking about amplifiers or Howard Stern requests? lol

I hear you. Floyd is one of my favorites. Sometimes I enjoy a Floyd-Fest and load Darkside, Wish you were here, Animals, A Momentary lapse of Reason, and the Division bell, then kick back and enjoy!
Great stuff. Gilmour may not be the greatest technical player but he has inestimable creativity, soul and finesse.

You're naughty. I hope you remembered to turn the volume down before you turned if off. :S

my parents wouldn't let me touch theirs. but I was a latchkey kid. guess what was the first thing fired up in their absence?

David Gilmour. Love his sound. Not just Comfortably Numb either. My fav is A momentary lapse of reason, the whole album.

haha. The big piece of wood furniture with all the cool little switches & stuff? lol. Yep, my folks had those as well. Must have been a requirement in order to live in PA. Crazy.

Better late than never on replying...it's cool to know another fellow bass player. I used to play regularly, up until I had my kids...double-diaper duties...12 hour shifts....no sleep, no time to play. Gradually, gave it up to move onto other things. But, occasionally whenever I'm cruising pawn shops for good deals, I'll pick up a bass & play around for bit.

Love Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rush (no YYZ though :( ) Music is big with me, and can't get through life without it, all kinds too.

Classical, Jazz (both Classic and Smooth) Rock, Prog-rock, Metal....except rap and most country that's newer than '91~sounds too much like rock, not really 'country'. Got Johnny Cash? Older Hank Williams Jr? Waylon Jennings? Currently? Sima Deep - Underground Resident 029. Good stuff. Cheers.

I see you have identified KingJamesSpaceKastle as jml below. How did you determine this? Is there some other entry I should investigate? If so could you please direct me?
Regards,
O.A.

my brother definitely agrees with you about the analog to digital losing richness , he thinks timbre as well. I can't tell-I say less warp and scratchy sound the better
