Musicians, Our Sun, And More

December 2nd, 2015

This is a tough topic to talk about without seeming totally bonkers. I don’t mind going to that crazy place for a good blog. I hope this one gets you thinking.

When I was in college over 20 years ago we were told the Sun was going to supernova in less than a thousand years. In the 20 plus years that I’ve been out of college the Sun’s life span has gained 5 billion years. It’s said that our Sun doesn’t have enough mass to supernova and that it will become a red giant. I can’t help but wonder what the consensus will be in 20 more years. It seems like there would more worry about a supernova in less than a millennium than a red giant in 5 billion years so why wasn’t anyone talking. I guess I mean why wasn’t everyone talking.

I love music and to me it seems like some performers were very willing to get the ball rolling and it also seems that though millions were listening they heard nothing. Though I think some songs were meant to be gibberish (Manfred Mann – Blinded by the light) some of them are still trying to convey a message.

Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon- Breathe; Run rabbit run, dig that whole forget the Sun.

Soundgarden –Superunknown: How long til the Superunkown?

Bush – Science of Things: (Just the cover of this CD reeks of Supernova): 40 Miles from the Sun: 40 miles from the sun

Letting the Cable Sleep: If heaven is on the way, We need to talk about it.

Imagine Dragons– Radio Active: I’m waking up to ash and dust. I wipe my brow and sweat my rust.

Beatles– Fool on the Hill: The fool on the hill sees the Sun going down.

There are other lyrics not so much about the Sun but that leaves the listeners scratching their heads. Some are just futuristic and seem like warnings .

Electric Light Orchestra– Here is the News (Best keyboard intro ever): (OK, I don’t have a clue of what they’re singing about. Just to listen to it gives give the listener a fear of the unknown). Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon : I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon. seems sinister enough on it’s own but coupled with ELO’s Ticket to the Moon: I paid the fair what more can I say it’s just one way. makes you wonder if there isn’t something going on up there. Europe seems to be going somewhere other than a Gieco commercial with The Final Countdown: We’re leaving together but still it’s farewell. And maybe we’ll come back to earth who can tell.  

Enigma– asks Do you really want to know? ( couldn’t find the song on Youtube ) My answer; Hell to the Yeah. I want to know.

Some songs are about the technology including biotechnology. (Brain waves, subatomic particles of the human existence, etc)

Fall Out Boy – Light ‘Em Up: My songs know what you did in the dark. Hard to make anything out of this one. Probably crosses Rush’s Spirit of the Radio with Peter Gabriel’s Intruder. There’s also U2’s  – Troubles: ( from Songs of Innocence )  Somebody stepped inside your soul. Little by little they robbed and stole but someone else was in control.

I think Peter Gabriel’s Intruder is all about advanced surveillance using The Human Element and it’s synergies as a device: I know how to move quietly creep across creaky wooden floors.

Rush – Spirit of the Radio: Invisible air waves crackle with life.

HKU (HomeKeeperU) – The Human Element: The Rule of Residual Synergy

Pink Floyd’s – The Final Cut: Is where Roger Waters and the rest of the band split. On the turning away: On the turning away from the weak and the weary: We can hear even more division and then The Division Bell (blog-Subliminalized) seems to draw a line between the (knows) and the (know nots) of society. High Hopes: Beyond the horizon in a place we lived when we were young in a world of magnets and miracles. Our thoughts trade constantly and with out boundary. The ringing of the division bell had begun. Simon and Garfunkel’s – Sound of Silence: People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening. comes to mind when ever I think of thoughts trading constantly without boundary.

Did you know that Walt Disney did not have his head cryogenically frozen. The first cryogenic freezing took place about a month after is death. The proximity of the dates probably gave rise to the urban legend. So what’s been the headway with preserving the head. The notion shows up a lot in entertainment. There’s the Talking Heads, Radio Head, Max Headroom, the Don Henley –Dirty Laundry: Is the head dead yet?  Eminem – Rap God: I’m the walking dead but I’m just a talking head a zombie floating. I’ll fully appreciate being burned to ashes, which is, by the way, what Walt Disney had done almost 50 years ago. Technology must have come somewhere in that time. Just makes me wonder what can be done in terms of preserving life or preserving the dead for later life. Will everyone get to know about it or just a privileged few.

Futuristic incarceration or a jailed planet – ELO – Here is the News: Someone’s broken out of satellite 2. Imagine Dragons – Radioactive – I’m breaking in, shaping up then checking out on the prison bus. (I’d like to remember at this point that bus can be applied to computers) The who – came out with Magic Bus in 1970 but the computer bus had been out since the 50’s. I don’t think The Who was speaking about a computer bus but it’s good to realize how long ago the crossover in language was.  Radiohead – Optimistic: Nervous messed up marionettes floating around on a prison ship. Creed – My own prison: I created my own prison. Rush – Free will: A planet of playthings we dance on the strings of powers we can not perceive. I believe technology can produce a computer generated reality and that may possibly apply here. Perhaps not our technology but the technology of other advanced beings in our Universe.

Time travel is an illusion. Dimensional travel is a lot more probable. Foreigner– Starrider: Through years of light lands a future and past; until the heavenly gates (gaze) were sighted at last. – And in the light of my years shone the rest of my days.

HKU– The Perceivable Universe: The Rule of Dimensional Space: The present is the most minuscule window of time through which the future becomes the past yet it is infinitely and eternally present. There would be the appearance of time travel to peer into these dimensions; the further out into the larger ones the further into the multiple pasts, the further into the smaller ones the further into the multiple futures. None of these are the true past or future of our common continuum.

I listen to my daughter’s mainstream pop music today and it just feels a little flat; personal  experiences, sex, and money.  Are we on the dark side of submission? Have we given up on humanities’s tomorrow? The hard questions about the human condition have been posed and it’s time to come up with answers. Most of today’s pop seems like more of a distraction from what really matters; the issues no-one talks about because they’re not personally effected by them at this time. There are exceptions like One Republic – Secrets: And everyday I see the news all the problems that we can solve ’em when a situation rises just write it into an album singing straight to gold but I don’t really like my flow, no. Gary Jules – Mad World: When people run in circles, it’s a mad world.

I can’t say for sure what’s going on in this our space age but I do know science and technology are light years ahead of the common consumer. It’s amusing to think about the possibilities that are above our pay grades but it’s also very serious. Is our Sun going to explode in less than a thousand years? Let me ask you this if Supernova was the case and it was thought that nothing could be done about it would the powers that be let us know? Would we be more difficult to govern? I suspect it would cause at least some breakdown in our societal infrastructure. Oh hell, we could devolve to animals in the first generation. Maybe the powers that be think ignorance is bliss when thinking about the future our great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren. The point is we can do something other than rolling onto our sides and saying wake me up in 5 billion years or better yet don’t wake me up at all. The something we can do is Occupational Parenting and I really think we should do it sooner than 5 billion years just to be on the safe side. Occupational Parenting will be just the medicine that the doctor ordered when it comes to our invisible communication with the Sun and the Universe around it as written about in The Human Element and The Perceivable Universe. We need to make the move to Occupational Parenting to come out on the good side of Genoeple in any case.  Pink Floyd – Keep Talking: All we need to do is make sure we keep talking. Until next time, keep your homes well.
