It's the kind of thing I would stumble onto in the radio station library, looking like it hadn't been touched since two weeks after it came out in 1986, and play until the increase in happiness I got from hearing it yet another time was outweighed by the sadness of the fact that the band who made it hadn't put out anything else. The other songs don't seize me as much on first listen but are interesting.

Delusions of >grandeur, more than paranoia? > Ok, ok, the word paranoia usually includes the idea of fear and a feeling of impending doom. I believe this is only part of the definition of paranoia, the part where the delusions become a problem rather than a pleasure. If a person thought that (for instance) at the end of the Carole Burnette Show, the tugging of the Carole's earlobe was a secret signal just to him, it would still be paranoia but a rather pleasant and non-problematic version. Unless he becomes a stalker. A feeling of grandeur is typical in paranoia - why else is the world focused on you and you alone? I had a stint being the Virgin Mary myself and held up my hands in blessing as I was wheeled around by my daughter in my wheelchair. I told her "I had to do it".

Thanks. this gets us back to the "what famous person do you look like" thread of several years ago. About which, a late entry. I was gobsmacked when reading an Uncut magazine from a few months back that had a picture of John Lennoin sitting around at the Dakota with Yoko and Sean. Only touble is, I'm convinced someone must've removed the picture of Lennon and stuck my face on it. Similar to the point of unnerving. (November 2002, p.58, lower pic, FWIW. A tiny copy of said picture can be seen at ).
