I'm game.              Well, I don't really know for sure what *he* meant by posting it, but I can       guess that he was attempting to say that despite my occasional complete       objections to his argumentative form, I'm somehow "stuck" here in this forum       with him and his musings.              As for my interpretation of the cover:              The title of the album is a subtle joke. Pink Floyd don't write dance music       and never have. The illustration shows restrained dancers (I.E. *not* dancing).              What's interesting, though, is that the lines anchoring them to the ground       aren't arbitrary, but are the lines of motion, preventing them from moving       specifically in a particular path. If it were possible for them to suddenly       stop being in the middle of        their dance, they could easily move about more or less freely - so what's       actually holding them still, if not the ropes?              Something something causality.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
