"Perhaps there were some connections to Paul with Genesis and its members."Hi greydove! - Somewhat doubt it. Given the choice between being groomed by Aleister Crowley or Jonathon King though... mmm? - the horns of a dilemma (or perhaps the dilemma of horns). Interesting...I was not familiar with johnathan king!

His thumb is pointing up at himself. The message is: "I am eye". It is: "I, 'the eye' [Horus], am back in the world!" In the meantime, would you say these are the same? ---------------- Why is this guy always turning his back on us? Oh sure, it makes for a good pun: "McCartney's back!" Har har. But is there more to it? (Of course there is! ;D) Well you see, McCartney was away on the day of the shoot for the back of Pepper, and so they had a stand-in fill in for him, and so the guy turned his back because obviously he had to hide his face, and blah blah blah.... 'Well you see it was a hot day outside, and so I took off my sandals and walked barefoot on the steaming hot cement and'... blah blah blah Well you see the flower company somehow forgot that there were four of us, so they only brought three red carnations, but fortunately they just happened to bring one of those black ones, and.... Anyone buying this? Before I go any further, let's answer the question I asked earlier. It would appear that 'McCartney' has an eye on his palm on the "Back in the World" album, but a closer inspection reveals that it is "the world". In other words, "He's got the whole world in the palm of his hand", and by the same token, he's got the United States in the palm of his hand on the "Back in the US" album. While the 'world' album is clearly meant to suggest an eye, imo, I have to say that something gets lost in the 'US' version. If that is meant to show an eye, I must say I don't think it does successfully. OR... By showing one eye as dark, and intact, and the other as white, or (perhaps) blinded, he is defined as Horus, once again, who was blinded in a fight with Set in the mythology (if memory serves). But there's more here. A god with his back to you. Does that ring a bell with anyone? If you were raised Christian or Jewish, you may recall the story in the Old Testament when Moses was allowed to look upon the back of God, but not allowed to see him from the front, because it was thought that no one could look upon the face of God and live. Somehow the brightness of God's face would somehow be lethal to the person looking at Him, supposedly. So perhaps, just maybe, I am eye/Horus/McCartney is also being identified through these shots as the God of the Old Testament. Of course, 'McCartney' is just a stand-in, seeing as God couldn't make it for the shoot that day, and blah blah blah. Well you see, Paul was dead, so they had to get Faul to stand in for him and..... I would submit to y'all that the work of The Beatles (and The Rolling Stones, and many others) are full of religious references, deliberately placed in view and sound, so that you will make the connections, if not consciously then subconsciously. Quick! What is this? It's the inner sleeve of the record album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's also a representation of the scripture found in John 19:34: "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."The religious references are all over the place. What is this?: "Can you take me back where I came from? Can you take me back?" Is it not, in a manner of speaking, the plea of "the prodigal son"? Interesting that the Rolling Stones did a song called "Prodigal Son", and basically told the parable in a straight forward manner. Why would they do that? Weren't they supposed to be the 'bad boys' of Rock and Roll in the 1960s? For my two cents, it's all part of "the really big shoe" that Rock and Roll seems to be. They were pointing to the Beatles, I'd say, because the story of "Paul is Dead" is basically the story of "The Prodigal Son". "But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: (because he was 'royalty') And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again[/color]; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry."[/i] Ah! But there were two sons! And the one that had not been ' foolish' became resentful about all the hoopla over the one that had been a fool. Just sayin'. Peter "Gabriel" indeed!

Now remember: This is Paul "Horus" McCartney. NIR-PWR member Il Ras already pointed out the '666' in this image, which is a type of "eye of Horus". And, if '666' points to the "anti-Christ" in the Bible, as some claim, then perhaps we should call this guy the "Anti-Horus" or "Anti-McCartney", because (presumably) he is the "Faulse" one. But in Greek(?), the "Anti-Christ" isn't necessarily a bogus, 'Iamaphoney' Christ. He is, rather, the 'substitute' Christ, or at least, he can be. And he has sung the song "Say Say Say", which, as Il Ras has also pointed out, is 666 in Greek(?), if I'm not mistaken. So: this guy has labelled himself as the one who is substituting in both song and artwork. The Who : Substitute - 1966You think we look pretty good together You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high (Ahem - Some of you GN bashers may be eating blackbird) The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact I can see right through your plastic mac I look all white, but my dad was black My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't try To work it out at all; you just pass it by, pass it by
Substitute me for him Substitute my coke for gin Substitute you for my mum At least I'll get my washing doneBut I digress. ;D Is Paul "Horus" McCartney the same as Paul "Citifield" McCartney? And are either one of them "the real one"? Or are they, perhaps, BOTH "the real one"? Ah, the questions of 1000 dreams: what you are, and what you seem. (I'm starting to confuse even myself! )

Legionnaire, Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes: RAOB reversed is BOAR, as in swine. Antediluvian means 'prior to the deluge', or 'before the flood'. Mark 5:8-13: For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. -j

"The story is set on a rock!" announced the composer, Pete Townshend, at one live performance, indicating that the opera represents Jimmy's looking back at the events of the previous day or two that led him into the gloomy situation where he finds himself at the end of the story. The narrative is difficult to derive from the lyrics alone, but becomes clearer with the benefit of a short story (also written by Townshend) related from Jimmy's first person perspective, that is included in the album's booklet.

This display of masculine bravado had earned him the admiration of many of his fellow Mods two days before during Jimmy's first stay in Brighton. Jimmy is disgusted to learn that the person he had admired as a Mod had "sold out". At this point, Jimmy is inconsolable. Everybody from his parents to his girlfriend had disappointed him before, but he had never expected the Mod lifestyle to let him down. Drunk and depressed, he steals the now former Ace Face's scooter from the front of the Brighton hotel where he is employeed, takes it out to a barren rock protruding from the sea, and crashes psychologically. With nothing left to live for he finds redemption in the pouring rain, which is expressed in the final song, "Love, Reign o'er Me".

We'll get back to Peter Gabriel, I promise! ;D But for as interesting as all the Quadrophenia material is (and ESPECIALLY P(D)enny La(i)ne's video), we've been barking up the wrong tree, it would seem to me, because when Iameye wrote: "caught the LAST TRAIN for the coast, the day.... the music.... died" she was quoting from the song "American Pie", and so the coast in question, no doubt, would likely be the west coast of the United States. And in the streets: the children screamed, The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed. But not a word was spoken; The church bells all were broken. And the three men I admire most: The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died. Now, I don't mean to go off on a tangent, (Who me?!), but I've always been a bit taken aback by the lines: And the three men I admire most: The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast Let's count, shall we? ................One .......................................Two Someone is missing! (The one that's so hard to see, no doubt.) Oh wait! Here they are! Standing in the sun! And the magician is pointing to them. See? Where do you go when "the record" is over? UP apparently. (Into the sun! ) Now we've talked here before about Bill Shepherd - UK Session Musician: invanddis.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=2672&page=1I just couldn't help but notice this one album by him that noodles posted. He's CRYing! (Selmolina Pilchard, climbing...)And that's his signature there: the eye. And if you read that thread, you'll find that he managed the Bee Gees for a while. (Those guys in the sun.) Sol - er - I mean, so (heh) let's have a closer look at those three guys in the sun. Here they are just Stayin' Alive (cough)WAIT! Stop the music!! What was that? At 9 seconds - this thing: What, you didn't see it? Look again! In fact, in the old murky version, they spelled it all out for people. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNe5cNKvyi4 ;D But not only that, there's a cross in the old version that flashes by subliminally at 0:15 (in the window). Tell me darling, what can it mean? more to come!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Gees"The (BeeGee's) involvement in the film did not begin until post-production. As John Travolta asserted, "The Bee Gees weren't even involved in the movie in the beginning... I was dancing to Stevie Wonder and Boz Scaggs." Producer Robert Stigwood commissioned the Bee Gees to create the songs for the film. The brothers wrote the songs "virtually in a single weekend" at France's Château d'Hérouville studio. Barry Gibb remembered the reaction when Stigwood and music supervisor Bill Oakes arrived and listened to the demos: “They flipped out and said these will be great. We still had no concept of the movie, except some kind of rough script that they'd brought with them... You've got to remember, we were fairly dead in the water at that point, 1975, somewhere in that zone–- the Bee Gees' sound was basically tired. We needed something new. We hadn't had a hit record in about three years. So we felt, Oh Jeez, that's it. That's our life span, like most groups in the late 60s. So, we had to find something. We didn't know what was going to happen." -------------------------- There are a lot of things I could say about the Staying Alive video and song. Did you notice that the newer version is faster? slower ..............................................................Faster! It's almost as if time has sped up or something. But the lyrics are kind of strange too: Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk. (He's a gigolo?)Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around since I was born. That's one hell of a segway!And now it's all right. It's OK. And you may look the other way. (Why? Is he a freak?)We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man. Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother, you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin', and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive. Well now, I get low and I get high, and if I can't get either, I really try. Got the wings of heaven on my shoes. I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose. You know it's all right. It's OK. I'll live to see another day. We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man. pauseOK, so everything is all upbeat and happy for the most part, and then:unpauseLife goin' nowhere. Somebody HELP me! Somebody HELP me, yeah! Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me. Somebody help me, yeah. Stayin' alive. (and so forth.) And what's with the 'scenery' in the video?! It looks like the bombed out ruins of some World War Two village. And yet the three of them are obviously laughing at somebody. I mean, it's definitely a: "Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah nyah!" thing. So what's going on with this? Lemme tell ya! ;D WHO does Barry Bee Gee look like in this video? (Barry Gibb that is.) Hu does he look like? (Come on, it's obvious!) Admit it, he looks like Jesus, right? And Maurice looks like Jimmy Page, but that may be a coincidence. But the three of them together are saying, "Nyah, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah; you didn't kill us!" to somebody. As they stand in "burned out" wreckage. POEtically, one might say they represent Jesus and his two companions at the crucifiction, the Joker and the Thief. And speaking of POE, what's this I've been kicked around since I was born stuff? ( Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe) And why would people look the other way ? Two things occur to me. One would be that when Jesus was beaten, people would look the other way to avoid seeing the horrible aftermath. But in a more modern sense, people sometimes look away when they see a gay couple kissing in public. Now I am not saying that Barry is gay. There's no evidence of it, but - and I know you've thought this - "He sings like a girl" And it makes me wonder... There's a feeling I get, when I look to the Liverpool Sound Collage album by Faul. In a cross-shaped montage of pictures, Jerry Lewis is shown, making a face that he used to make in movies when he had been kicked in the balls. The thought occurs to me that perhaps the message being sent here is that Jesus was castrated, or perhaps didn't have, you know... Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk. Maybe he was androgynous. Mary had a little 'lamb'... Whatever. What is this Stayin Alive video trying to get across, with its lauging Messiah, stargate temples, and ... whatever? I think the message is: Just as Jesus couldn't be killed even though he died at about 3:47 EST (middle-eastern standard time, I suspect), we - you and I - whether we're a mother or whether we're a brother we'll be stayin alive even if the city is quaking and everybody's shakin and we find ourselves standing amidst ruins. Probably a call for HELP! would do the trick. That's probably what this is all about. Maurice. Hah! Some people call me Maurice ! post script: Hmmm. 3:47 EASTERN Standard Time "he die". The train must have been going to the East Coast.

By the way, speaking of "a woman's man", and gigolos, here's another possible clue, I'm thinking. I know you; you know meen.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_GigoloJulian Kaye (Richard Gere), is a male prostitute in Los Angeles whose job supports his expensive tastes in cars, stereophonic equipment, and clothes. He is, at times, blatantly narcissistic and superficial; however, he openly claims to take some pleasure in his work from being able to sexually satisfy women. When on an assignment for his primary procuress, Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), he meets Michelle Stratton (Lauren Hutton), the unhappy wife of a local politician, who becomes interested in him. Julian's other pimp, Leon (Bill Duke), sends him to the house of a financier, who asks Julian to physically abuse and copulate with his wife while he watches them. Later, Julian learns that the financier's wife was murdered. Los Angeles Police Department Detective Sunday (Hector Elizondo) investigates Julian as a primary suspect. Though he was with another client on the night of the murder, the client refuses to give Julian an alibi, to protect her and her husband's reputations. As Julian's relationship with Michelle deepens, suspicion of the murder mounts against him. He soon realizes that he is being framed and grows increasingly desperate. His decline is visually represented by a degeneration in style as his clothes become rumpled, he goes unshaven, and he even rents a cheap commuter car after his Mercedes has been tampered with. Julian finally confronts Leon, who confesses that one of the other, younger gigolos who works for him had killed the wealthy man's wife, and Leon had conceived the plan to frame Julian. After an argument, Julian accidentally pushes Leon over the apartment balcony and he falls to his death. With no one to help him, Julian ends up in jail, awaiting trial for the murder. However, when all seems lost, Michelle risks her reputation and that of her husband to provide Julian with the alibi that can save him from prison. They wouldn't have dared to call him Julian Caye; it would have been too obvious.

From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Thanks for the input, SS and iameye. Salient comments from both of you, and much appreciated. Let's talk about the moon. It's a good thing I'm not the one driving the 'bus', because evidently I can't tell the moon from the sun. Or male from female, for that matter. The eye is clearly feminine. It's Horus's left, female eye, the moon. shop.nms.ac.uk/products/Egyptian-Horus-Mini-Bronze-.html"Horus was an Egyptian sky god in the form of a falcon whose right eye was the sun, and his left eye the moon." And perhaps this is what these two images represent: Moon .......................................................................Sun It would seem "the world" is standing in for "the sun" in the picture above, or perhaps it's the 'black hole sun' aka the invisible sun that we are seeing there. But getting back to the moon: What is John Travolta pointing to here? A silver orb that reflects light. It's "the moon". By the Light of the Silvery MoonAnd as a reflector of light, there is no light generated from the moon, so: "There is no dark side of the moon really; matter of fact it's all dark!"All that is now All that is gone All that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon. What is real (the light, spiritual reality) is eclipsed by a reflection of reality, the physical realm. I believe that is the meaning of those words. The moon gets mentioned in many songs, but often "in disguise". Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind The moon on the water at night forms what looks like a pathway, or bridge. That can't be said of the sun. A bridge over troubled water comes from the moon. Simon and Garfunkel seem to be offering reassurance to a friend here, someone who would relate to the moon. Moonlight is considered to be feminine, while sunlight is considered to be masculine, though songs like "Mr. Moonlight" sometimes cloud the issue. Technically moonlight is from the sun, and so it could be a "mister", but the moon polarizes the luminescence, and makes it "magic" for some, as in this song. Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on
Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing Every little Every little Every little Every little thing she does Every little thing she does Every little thing she does Every little thing she does Thing she does is magic
Eee oh oh...)
Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing she does is magic magic magic Magic magic magicThe 'Eee oh's are actually "Io"s, the name of a moon of Jupiter, and the name of a goddess, and while Io isn't our moon, "It's a big enough umbrella" to stand in for Luna, apparently. So... Where do you go when the record is over? To 'the dark side of the moon', a place which, perhaps, doesn't exist. In this video, Peter Gabriel, orbiting on his bicycle, represents the moon, imo. Not much of a point to this post I guess, just stuff in my head. I'm still in shock from what hit me last night. Sweet dreams. Midnight with the stars and You

Feminine Sun, relative perspective Funny how 'things' change... things. "He says When you gonna make up your mind When you gonna love you as much as I do When you gonna make up your mind Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change My dear "The last train... The Last Ride The Last Ride - Todd RundgrenDon't let the stars get in your eyes don't let the moon break your heart... "Eyes that have seen will know what I mean, the time has come to take the bull by the horns..."

In the "Big Time"video, the "snow white pillow for his big fat head" ... a bag of cocaine?
"When I show them my bed I'll have it made like a mountain range." (mounds of coke?)

And I will walk through the front door"Pretty self explanatory.

And speaking of the moon... ...don't forget about Duncan (Bowie) Jones's film, "Moon", in which: "The two Sams struggle to come to grips with the existence of each other, each believing the other to be a clone of himself." And...that David has been a resonator for Hours, erm....I mean...Horus (among other things...).

The first 'heaven' is very clear, but the second one is pronounced a bit strangely, and it sounds like 'hell' to me, even now that I know that it's actually 'heaven'. I had to turn it up and listen on headphones to hear it as 'heaven'. I am getting older.

Here Comes The Moon www.4shared.com/file/197149344/3be5145d/George_Harrison_-_Here_Comes_t.htmlAt one time in the recent past I was going to create a video to go with an underrated song by George Harrison but decided not to do so. Timing seemed right for the audio mix since the moon is being discussed. I made the guitar outro intentionally trippy. After the forward version, as is my make-up, I reversed the song. See if you notice how the word "moon" is exactly the same forward or backward. This happens quite a lot in reversals. The moon, my moon, my moon, my moon, looks like me.

SS, I like what you did with this!
Aiwass unaware of that song. Here is the original version for anyone who was in the same bus.
George Harrison - "Here Comes The Moon"
Everybody's talking up a storm Act like they don't notice it But here it is and here it comes . . . Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.
Impulse always quickens when it's full As it turns my head around me Yes it does and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.
God's gift I see that's moving up there into the night . . . Though dark the mirror in the sky reflects us our light: Looks like a little brother to the sun Or mother to the stars at night And here it is and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.
Breath is always taken when it's new Enhance upon the clouds around it Yes it is and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon.

Thanks B, Your comment is quite clever as well. I usually don't do this but I sometimes like to turn people on with new music and bands. These guys are from New York and have several albums out. It is Gabriel related in a sense of it sounding a lot like a modern day approach to the Gabriel era Genesis sound mixed with a little Pink Floyd, throw in a little Beatlesque vocal harmony and all of the other usual culprits. Note the name of the song. This is the number nine track off their latest album "The Darkened Room" so here is IZZ. Hope you all enjoy it. I am not associated with the band but they deserve a plug. www.4shared.com/file/197215780/939675f2/09_-_23_Minutes_of_Tragedy.htmlFor more info: www.myspace.com/izzmusicwww.izznet.com/
