Originally called "Uptight," which is how Jonny referred to it in its early staged, the song pays homage to Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues." It deals with alien abduction and stems from two incidents in Thom's life. The first occured at Abingdon School, when he was assigned an essay question that went something like this: "If you were an alien from another planet arriving on Earth, how would you describe what you saw?" The second incident occurred when Thom was driving down a country road and hit a bird (which he believes was a pheasant). He stepped out of the car and at that moment began thinking about alien abduction.

There are so many amazing songs by Bob Dylan that I'm totally oblivious of. Wow!

How about this myspace embed?

I figure if you can ever find the video you want on a site that is not youtube it's a lot less likely to go dead

Man. It's strange to see Bob Dylan so young.


And to understand what he's saying.

Has the rasch cleared up, or is Bob Dylan still syphilitic?

Has the rasch cleared up, or is Bob Dylan still syphilitic?

I know it's just for fun and as much as I like Bob Dylan, I'm starting to worry that Bob could record a weeks worth of his own farts yet his fans and The Rolling Stone would still have a collective orgasm anyway.

Ok try this at home kids-

2 shots espresso of yer choice
16oz Cafe Du Monde
1-1/4Cup respectively, mixed, half n' half & heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 Tbsp or to taste, Ghirardeliia, Oopershnootzen, or whatever hardcore chocky powder you decide to pay too much for..

1 container big enoough to hold it all
*sm Agave syrup
sm sugar of yer choice
sm topping

Make the espresso and Cafe Du Monde according to preference-(mine's respectively with a standard sotvetop macchinetta for espressa,and simply drip through filter the CDM)

Inna separate accommodating sauce pan and stirring constantly, heat the mixture of H$H/HWC,and sugar(s) to just prior to boiling, the thing will want to rise up outta the saucepan...(don't be alarmed-turn off oven, light fuse, get away)this should be sufficient to produce a thickish creamy head, no unmixed chocky

add the milk stuff to the coffee combo, serves one strung-out fiend or four no-jaggers.

Black coffees' great as well, but some days for the sake of yer eccentric self or some other perosn yer trying to please, you have to go all-out.

Starbucks??? Ain't got shit on the above what with their syrup flavours and their fancy machinery and their wi-fi and New York Times...they sell cd's in Starbucks don't they??.....Like Bob Dylan's last album?? $90 coffee cups..Hrummmmph!

This is the way I took it, Rasch (not that you're still confused).

Ed Tom (TLJ) has decided on retirement rather than bringing the killer to justice. He found the killer but he retires because he realizes that Texas is essentially No Country for Old Men. So he tells his wife about a dream: heading into snowy, dangerous mountains on horseback and his father carrying fire, goes on ahead of him to await him.

This idea of father & son carrying fire is also explored in The Road, McCarthy's follow-up to NCFOM, as the man and the boy seek to establish their place in the overwhelming bleakness of their existence.

The Sheriff knows he's outmatched by this new kind of evil (Bardem) and since he's older now than his father ever was, the dream is kind of an acceptance of his retirement, a "letting-go" of this hazardous job so he can follow the fire of his father. Perhaps he feels he owes it to his father to continue to survive, since he's older.

Like Bob Dylan said, "Momma, take this badge offa me, ... I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door."

I for one would like to see all the creepy shit you've got on me.

I hate you, your person, your attitude. And by orders of almighty dag, I'm keeping it in the profile. Repeating lies in the corners don't make them true.

As for your mass support - chances are good those people didn't like me to begin with.

I think Rachel (uh-oh, evil_disco_man might come-a-knocking again) should have acted like an adult and confronted me about any issue she had other than this rumor-mongering. We had plenty of private conversations, showing them to edm is one thing, I knew that, but showing them to a scumbag like you is outrageous. If you saw the full logs, you'd see that there's as much "creepy shit" from her as there is from me. Showing that stuff partially is a wicked move by her and I am disappointed in her.

"AC: yeah, and that's fine, but enough people know the real deal"

How many people have you bastards poisoned against me huh? Miserable fucks.

>> ^UsesProzac:
Not sure why you sent that as private.
I'm really interested to see what you "have" on Gwiz. Anything taken out of context sounds much worse for it. AC and peggedbea and inflatablevagina can all be very perverse. And if you cut bits out of the conversation, I'm sure parts can sound pretty bad without the contextual leading up, if you will.
AC doesn't want to hurt his feelings by showing him logs of their own conversations?? That just doesn't make sense to me.
Fuck your "pity", Rasch. I'm sure you must feel so high and mighty, self-righteous. Fuck your invisible masses of "private" support.
I support Gwiz because he's been my friend for well over two years. It's not a maternal instinct. How dare you say having a child is the only reason for me being behind a friend of mine.
You insulted him and continue to harass him, going so far as to discarding a video of his. How can you possibly think that is a solution to anything?
And by the way, I hate Bob Dylan! There. I said it. Feels so cathartic to finally admit.
In reply to this comment by rasch187:
The problem with this conversation is that we've both made up our minds about certain things. You think I'm a total bastard who makes stuff up and wants to hurt other people, while I think I did the right thing all things considered, though maybe a bit cruel.
Another thing you've got to remember is that if you look at the thread that started this whole thing, I called attention to the reason why AC left the sift very early on in the thread and from thereon out different people started voicing their personal opinion as well. Am I responsible for what they said?
To me it seems like gwiz and the few people who support him on vs found it much easier to label me as the reason why this all happened. And while I can agree to getting the snowball rolling, the reason for it was his behaviour over a very long time. And saying that people should have sorted it out in private pm's is besides the point. You should see some of the shit AC has showed me, creepy shit. She doesn't want to hurt his feelings by showing them and I didn't show ANY of the disturbing stuff I've got on the guy, mainly because it didn't feel right towards my vs friends and partly, believe it or not, to spare gwiz the embarrasment. Despite what you may think, I don't hate the guy, I feel immense pity on him and hopes he can turn his life/behaviour around.
I don't feel I've got anything to apologise for, but if I did, of course I would apologise. I've done nothing but apologise to people ever since joining the sift. And if you could see the number of sifters who have sent me private pm's thanking me for bringing attention to this, you'd be amazed. Here's something that sums up out situation nicely imho:
AC: fuck what he or anyone else think they know about what you have done
AC: as far as i'm concerned, it is your business, because i made it your business
Rasch: every story needs a bad guy I guess
Rasch: and to most of these people gwiz is a cute dork who I tried to make a fool of
AC: yeah, and that's fine, but enough people know the real deal
Rasch: I guess prozac's feeling all maternal for him these days as well and supports him in everything
AC: oh yeah she always did

At least I had the decency to apologize and mend the relationship. You're a coward. I'm sure you know how wrong you are and how far you jumped with your conclusions and misplaced ire. Do yourself a favor and be a man.

I have no intention of starting a fight with you. I've answered your question and I'll leave it at that.

You involved yourself in a situation that didn't concern you, why can't I do the same? Silly bear. Defensive, much?
