Ah, Live at Pompeii. I've still got 12 inch laser disk of it. I love it when Waters tries to stand up and bang the big gong.

This one's mine.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

No music at my funeral. Curiously (or maybe not), many other musicians I know feel the same way.
I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

These two songs have ranked in my top 10 for a long time. So perhaps them.
