If you follow the link to the entry on the song itself, there's a quote from Brian May apparently confirming that version of what the song's about. But I call bullshit on this: "The title was apparently chosen because if the tracks on Queen's original studio albums are numbered in sequential order starting with their first, this would be the 39thsong in the sequence." Uh-huh...as they were *writing* the song, they knew exactly where it would be sequenced on the album, along with the other songs they were writing at the time.

The LA Times has instituted this regular feature called Channel Island (see, 'cuz... never mind) where they sort of synopsize, analyze, and take the pulse of fan reactions to developments in a single TV show (so every few weeks you get a piece on 24, then the next week it's Lost, or whatever). Now, in many ways, it is very wrong that this appears in a major newspaper, but I personally kind of like it. It saves me from watching the shows, or looking through scattershot fan site bulletin boards to sift through what's what, and, perhaps most perversely importantly, gives a pretty fair snapshot of what kind of people follow what shows and what gets them wound up. I guess it's kinda like reading the sports page without watching the games or something. Anyways, from this reading the most recent one on BSG, even I know that... well... didn't the show just kill off a kinda major character? - -Rex, utterly failing to escape the TV discussion vortex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 19:26:26 +0100 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: movie talk - --On 7.

I'm avoiding detailed discussion of BSG right now because I still haven't watched the last episode. But this comment caught my eye again when Viv replied to it. Two things: first, EVEN IF you think the characters are bad people, selfish, ideologically depraved, or whatever, it's still a big leap to doubt that they would help to save humanity. Even the most thoughtless, selfish person may well help bail out the lifeboat if they themselves are trapped in it; sainthood or even basic decency is not necessary. Secondly, military organizations are notoriously good at getting ordinary and selfish people to put their lives on the line, through a combination of fear (of punishment, of getting killed if your side is routed), comradeship (the basic tribal instinct that nothing is worse than failing your comrades), and simple hatred of the enemy. We see it working all around the world today; why can't it work for the Colonial Fleet? The characters on BSG have all sorts of personal problems aggravated by constant strain and emotional trauma, make all kinds of mistakes, sometimes act like total assholes; and yet they still struggle to carry on because their only alternative is to lay down and die. It all feels right to me. - --Chris ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 10:42:50 -0800 (PST) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: Re: Definitive 200 Rex wrote: > I thought that, hipster-wise, the White Album was the new > "Revolver".

I thought the title *was* "1970" - anyway, the list probably isn't meant to be exhaustive. It's mentioned in the discussion, though.

He was 77. Baudrillard died at his home in Paris after a long illness, said Michel Delorme, of the Galilee publishing house.
