Paul- why do you keep on reposting here old stuff from your Rocknerd-journal?
That Beatles Alternative Universe-stuff dates back from January this year!

Wow, he just cuts and pastes from here to there and vice versa don't he? Even quotes Holzman over there and doesn't bother to change the tags that don't work over there.

How about this one, lou Reed's "Satellite of Love"? Anyone wanna give it a shot? Yeah, I got this one. In 1969, Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison were in the back of a cab talking about a song that they wanted to write about the moon landing. The country was very excited about space exploration, and Lou Reed was no exception, and he wanted to express this excitement by writing a song about it. According to Sterling Morrison, when Lou struggled to come up with a good angle for his space song, he decided, "Hey, love songs always work", and turned it into a love song. How'd I do? Is the part I bolded actually true? |

It's at least as true as your Namath Hypothesis.

Go - Pearl Jam
please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
never acted up before, don't go on me now
i swear i never took it for granted, just thought of it now
suppose i abused you, just passing it on
go...fuck...
once fastened, servile, now you're getting sharp
moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
i pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
turned to my nemesis...a fool, not a fucking god
no...time...suck...my...
please...
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
please...oh...
suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...
please, please, please...
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
don't go on me
please...
don't you want me
don't go on me
please...
don't go on me
Don't really know what this song is supposed to be about, but rumor has it, it's about Eddie's car....

Is the part I bolded actually true? Well, you didn't actually bold anything, so I'm going to presume you're referring to the section that is in a larger size. According to some interview I read with Sterling Morrison it's true, for whatever that's worth. Obviously sometimes musicians make up stories about their songs, but in any event, if it's not true, it's his story, not mine. |

But in this case I wasn't backpeddling...just trying to better explain the purpose of this thread--which some of the folks here didnt seem to be comprehending...anyway fuzz, how bout some more YSIs? |

I think it's about a guy who was abused and he's doing the same things to his girlfriend/wife...she used to put up with it but now she's starting to fight back and threatening to leave. |

But in this case I wasn't backpeddling...just trying to better explain the purpose of this thread-- Maybe I'm confused then are we discussing what songs are probably actually about or what they could be about if you try really hard and lived on an alternate plane? It's about your interpretation of the song. Is that so hard to understand? It can be based on biographical facts of the artists (like Rocky's interpreation of 'Satellite of Love' or just your interpreation of the words perhaps seen as reflection of a context in which they were created like cookie monsters example). Here's your chance to flex your imagination and show some creativity. |

So we're clear, there's exactly one line Bozo cites from Solsbury Hill that proves it's about Jesus?
