I was under the impression it was about a cross-dresser who creates a fantasy relationship, but now (after listening to the lyrics closely) I'm not so sure. Which lead to confusion on what exactly it's about. Any input would be great ... this is chewing on the back of brain and making it difficult to study for midterms ... (One tomorrow - -AAAAAAAHHHHH!)

Isn't "One" based on that WWI book about the kid who loses all his limbs and his senses but the doctors keep him alive anyway? Come one, SOMEBODY on this list better get this.

This kid your mentioning sounds > like the perfect "brain in a vat". Actually, the book "Johney Got His Gun" is quite good. The movie (With Donald Sutherland as Jesus Christ!) doesn't explain enough though. He is basically a "brain in a vat". Rather depressing at times, but a great anti-war novel. And yes, that was a Metallica reference. I just wanted to see how much I could shake up the list with a reference from the other end of the musical spectrum. Hey, they both have done covers of "Eight Miles High". I wonder how well Julie could scream "Creeping Death" though. I heard they were considering it for the new album... I also got the whole cross dressing thing from "one" (EFO version). I thought it was about someone who was a cross dresser without others realizing it. I guess I never listened to the words too closely. Jim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Feb 1999 16:41:54 -0500 From: Susan Githens Subject: Re: One Geez.

Which lead to confusion on what > exactly it's about. I dunno... I always thought it was about a couple who fall passionately and maybe self-destructively in love, until finally they don't really have love but a sort of clingy obsession ("unveiled as madness, disguised as something sane"--i.e., love) I must confess that the part about weaving a tapesty has me stumped, but I like the imagery... Alternately, it could be a sort of Twilight Zone song (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, anyone?), but I like the first one better. And I'd just like to say that I took a weaving class a couple of quarters back and had this song running through my head at every class for the entire quarter, although I did stifle the urge to break into song. - --nicole twn who rarely, if ever, starts singing during class... except that time last quarter when someone sitting behind me in my Communications section said something about not jumping off bridges... and with a lead-in like that, who could have resisted? ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V2 #25 ****************************
