Crammed in a park with hundreds of thousands of other people listening to Simon & Garfunkel sounds like hell to me.

But this thread reminds me of this song I am obsessed with. I can only listen to her every few years because it's such an intense experience. I had a dream about her the other day so I had to dig out all my stuff for multiple listens.

When she sings "Don't you want to live forever, I could hook you up" is she gawd singing about heaven? I am trying to find interviews where she talks about this song but am unsuccessful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sN9hnE6mJU

I hope there is music. And I can keep following what's going on on earth and still see concerts since music keeps getting better and better as time goes on.

Except it's almost certain I am going to hell. Where I suspect I will also hear music.

Which reminds me of an SNL skit in which Simon (or was it Garfunkel?) is trapped in an elevator with muzak versions of Simon and Garfunkel songs. It was his own private hell.

Her music is very mainstream, but in a very crowded field.

This album was something of a hit but she failed to reach the same
sort of success with any subsequent projects.

If you believe that the Bible is true, it's right there in Matthew
22:30 - "they neither marry nor are given in marriage."

C.S. Lewis compared the question to a child trying to understand sex.
He knows that the best thing he's ever done is eat chocolate, so he
wonders if people eat chocolate when they're making love[1]. If they
don't, how could it be any good?

[1]OK, yes, some people do. And then there was Herve Villechaize's
wife...

Of course they never married. But based on their correspondence, both
Sartre and Simone were completely heinous human beings.

Sorry, I had a butterfingers moment with my keyboard and I wasn't done
yet. IMO, she does *THE WEIRDEST* music I've ever heard so far in my
life. Well, along with that "Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm" song by the
group called "The Crash Test Dummies". For lack of a better way of
describing it, to me, her music is like a mix of regular music,
Salvador Dali art, and performance art.

Sadly, no. The verse exists in magnificent isolation. It is in fact the
only verse in Matthew 22 (which makes the numbering odd) and has no
other references or context. I would ask you to check but as you know,
there is only one copy of the Bible and it has not yet been translated
from Aramaic. Googling for it would be useless as Madelyn Anne Murray
O'Hare and Obama are suing Google to prevent the Bible from being on
the Internet because they are Muslin. I read this in the Rush Report.

Many modern apologists believe that Jesus was referring to "Twilight"
fans.

If you use a better Google than S. Checker was able to call up, it
leads you to this New International Version (translation).

A group of people asked Jesus just that question - he gave a brief
answer then jumped to a "never mind" brush-off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came
to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that
if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the
widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers
among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no
children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened
to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27
Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife
will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the
Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will
neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels
in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read
what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob’[b]? He is not the God of the dead but of the
living.”

I saw TBone Burnett play guitar once. It was on the Martinis and Bikinis
tour with Sam Phillips.... In a bar with about 200 people and at one point
she stopped the show... And said "listen" The room was completely quiet.
She thanked the crowd and said "this is the best compliment you can give

ice cream,
eyes scream,
ears scream,
i want to scream!

This is how I feel when the ice cream truck goes by in summer. I wrote to
the city a few years ago complaining about the noise they make and it
disturbing the neighborhood, asking if it doesn't it fall under a noise
ordinance (or some law). A county attorney wrote back and said there wasn't
really anything they could do, the "music" is considered a signal device.

I still don't understand this. Why is some stranger allowed to go daily
through neighborhoods blaring very annoying crappy music that attracts kids
running out into the street to buy unhealthy overpriced products, from some
whacked stranger. I don't go crawling down the street in a car "signaling"
by honking my horn or blaring crappy music.

I really really hate being forced to listen to crappy music. It the same
music over and over on about a 15 second loop. And it plays so loud you can
hear when the truck is three blocks away.

I wonder why they use music to signal that the ice cream truck is
here? Back in the day the Good Humor trucks and the Bungalow Bar
trucks roaming the neighborhoods (day and night) in New York City just
jingled a string of bells, and we all came running.

You can just about see the bells on the front edge of the roof on the
Bungalow Bar photo, and the bells are sticking out above the top of
the windshield on the Good Humor truck.

In the summer the beach towns, Rockaway and Long Beach, also had Good
Humor tricycle guys selling ice cream - also with bells:

You don't have the ones that play loud annoying muzak? There was one that
would come around in my old neighborhood that played "pop goes the weasel"
over and over. And would circle the block three times. I hope there is a
karma for such people.

I can handle the bells, I think they did that in my hometown now that you
mentioned it. And they weren't too loud or rang incessantly. They were
okay. Kinda like wind chimes... Speaking of bells, I also wrote to my
council person a few years ago about church bells. And said they should
not be allowed to ring them so you hear them half mile away. (He replied
that he thought they were beautiful.) Where I used to live I was half mile
from a church and they would wake me up-- at 6 am! And then I would hear
them on the hour every hour all day Sunday. Fucking Catholics. Why do they
have the right to wake me up at 6am on a Sunday morning? Whatever happened
to the Law of the Commons?

I really enjoy the nights here where there are no sounds, but crickets and
an occasional bird. There are quite a few days/nights the UPS planes fly
right over when the wind blows a certain way sometimes they sound like they
are going to land in my driveway. They are worst at night when the big
cargo planes take off and land. I never thought to have on my checklist
when looking at house to see what the neighborhood and noise level was at
night.

But when it's just crickets here in the evening, it's sublime.

I don't mind the ice cream truck. It doesn't come by my house that
often. I don't mind church bells, at least I didn't when there were
some close enough to hear. What I hate are wind chimes.

Church bells are okay, probably because we don't hear any where I am.
But UPS planes in a flight path over your house, that is hard to take.
Why do airlines think they have air rights over where you live, and
without regard to when they fly over? Where is the law that says a
person's home is his/her castle, and does it extend to air rights over
the house? Effen airlines! There is a vector almost directly over
our house that us used by planes flying from the Pacific area to the
east coast, and another vector that is used by planes flying the great
circle route over the polar region to places unknown. But they are at
altitudes where the noise of the planes cannot be heard; all you see
is the contrail. If I turn my telescope on them (80mm short tube
refractor) I can just barely see the planes. Birds are okay, but
crickets can be an irritating sound. Give me silence every time.

Yes, because working at a business that makes children happy is a terrible
thing.

Fuck you. I love the ice cream truck.

No matter how oddly inappropriate the songs it plays.

Not too many chimes around here, so I only occasionally hear them from a
distance. It's nice. We hear the church bells. Loudly. It's only a block
and a half away. I love that, too. I've never lived anywhere that I can't
hear the church bells.

My first apartment was two blocks away from an airport. Most planes
would turn away from me after takeoff but occasionally a 737 would fly
right over my apartment at a low altitude.

Two blocks? I used to live a mile and a half from a major airport,
along the main runway's approach. There was a single plane that would
come in at 3:30 every morning - my wife said it was UPS. It would
wake her, but not me.

When we bought a place, we got one that was only a mile from the
airport, but all three runways point away from us, so we seldom get
any noise. The new runway is going in just over a half mile away, but
again its flight paths point at right angles to our place. I don't
know what this will do to sound.

Anyone who buys or rents two blocks from an existing airport knows
what they are getting. They're probably getting a really good price
in exchange.

I like the bigass wind chimes. Not the little aluminum ones that are kinda
tinny sounding... I was at place in Carson City once, and they had these
huge ones. Like five feet long and 3 or 4 inches diameter. The ex got
embarrassed because I kept bumping into them to hear them.... Had great
bass sound. Made me wish I was Buddhist.

The airport here is pretty much in the middle of the city now. The city
grew around it. And they expanded the runways so UPS could fly bigger
planes a few years back, so it's not going anywhere. (I wish I could.) I
would probably feel better if I had a job at UPS, or they at it least shared
some of their profits with the people they keep awake at night.
