i asked him if he'd ignore a crying child in the street, and he came back with that pumpkin nonsense..
you're the "crying child" (and i mean that in the nicest possible way, seeing as i'm right here with you)
"the street" is the world..
we're not his "children"
and he's made it clear he has no interest in seeing what we're "crying" about
(or rather, he thinks we're crying about nothing.. if so, great, all he has to do now is actually prove how there is no "bogeyman"..)
he doesn't seem to understand what we're trying to get across in the same way you and i "understand" it
..as for the supposed *personal* messages in music (see what he did there?) ..he might like to have a listen to the recording made by the 14 y.o boy who snuck into john lennons hotel room and "interviewed" him.. but i've got a feeling he's now in over his head..

It was a really awful song back when it first came out and hasn't gotten better with time. Do YOU feel as if some sort of message is being sent to you through a forty something year old song? It seems a lot like pop 40 crap, and it is.

the musicians didn't actually *invent* all those things they sang about, did they?
what are you doing with all your jigsaw puzzle pieces? smoking them?

....if we were to follow your line of reasoning out there, we'd have to acknowledge how that dolt was eventually sourced by the system, wouldn't we?
the musicians didn't actually *invent* all those things they sang about, did they?
it's evident now, if we were to be very patient with one another here, we'd start making a bit of progress..

The things they sing about are years later than their song.

..you're in over your head
me: "the musicians didn't actually *invent* all those things they sang about, did they?"
you: "Yes. Yes they did. Do you think TPTB are sending you hints about their plans for the year 9595 in a bad 60s song?"
we're takling about the band, remember? not TPTB
the band made the song, not TPTB, remember?
why do you keep trying this tired old ruse?
try looking through some old mandrake the magician comics (same era) for some insights into the "pills" the band croons about..
when they're wailing about 'if woman can survive' you might like to click that little link in my sig there..

The song itself isn't what I am talking about I am talking about the lyrics and given the time it was written.
The things they sing about are years later than their song.
That's what I'm pointing out.
I'm not sure how revealing it's supposed to be that in the year 4545 I won't need teeth.

you keep taking this all "literally" (..that seems to be part of the problem)
..ever heard of a discourse?
you seem to be waiting for some kind of "official" FOX news announcement?
iridium DOES NOT connect back to the song (got that now?)
the song carries a discourse, that is all
if you can't figure out how that discourse fits into a world-wide satellite grid you've got much bigger problems
..i'd imagine this is all a bit like rain on a windowpane for you at the moment?
