Dark Side of the Moon
& The Wizard of Oz
Doc:
What's your take on this about playing "The Darkside of the Moon" with the
"Wizard of Oz" and having them correspond so closely? Coincidence? Planned?
Kind of interesting but to have 2 web pages devoted to it ?????????

Dear Gypsy,
Coincidence? Hah! Do you think it was a coincidence that Kennedy had a
secretary named Lincoln and Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy? Next thing you know you'll be telling me that you did not know that the "cream" filling
in Twinkies is addictive for badgers. Right. How about the link between the
Girl Scouts and Archer Daniels Midland: cookies, growth hormones, Pamela
Anderson, Baywatch, Babe Watch, Girl Scouts. And how about the "Jolly Green
Giant"? Huh? What happened to Sprout? Yeah, they say it was suicide but his
arm must have been over three feet long and *very* thin to be inside when he
(or someone) pushed the microwave button. George Bush wouldn't eat broccoli;
ever wonder why?
Darkside of the Moon. Capricorn One explains it all. We never were there. By
the year after the "summer of love," Hendrix and Joplin (both removed by the
C1A? Men In Black? Gabe Kaplan?) had the whole country hallucinating. Roger
Waters (water ties in with Capricorn -- the water goat) wrote the music and we paid for the tune. And we are still paying for it.
Oz => Ozymandias:
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculpture well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
That hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, yet Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
What was Shelley trying to tell us? Both he and his wife, the infamous Mary
Steenbergen, were anti-technology. The were Luddites of the worst sort
(almost as bad as the current administration.) Look how they treat a decent
Scientist and his lab experiment! Shudder!!! And what does Frankenstein have
to do with Frank Oz? You figure out who faked all those moonshots and the
"Alien Autopsy". It weren't Disney, if you get my drift.
What about "Zardoz?" I hear you say. Sean Connery was getting on. The 007
racket which had inspired JFK to invade Cuber, was winding down. He had to
get involved in the SF biz; the bucks were there. In turn, Q helped the US
gov. with the special effects. But I say too much.
Yes, Gypsy, it is a coincidence. Pay no attention. Go back to sleep.
