Famous Breakups in Musical History?

No, it's just from the "1973" page on a new show that VH1 is airing next week about the 70s.

I mean the hubris to put David and Roger next to Sonny and Cher! Blasphemy! Sacrilege!

I nonetheless thought the image was amusing, the juxtaposition of talent vs. no talent gives the viewer an unnerving sense of existential angst via the dialogue and interplay of "high art" as seen paralleling counter-culture via common culture, the zeitgeist of early postmodernism manifest in a dichotomy of experiences.

Wow.

Hey Stan, let's do some Terry Mattheson essays for this journal!

I forgot to use the word "gestalt." I guess I'll save that for the next essay.

Someone on one of the Pink Floyd forums made a comment that it was the NEW Pink Floyd. Heh.

Oh, and why did they cut the top of their heads off? Makes it look like David Gilmour is shorter than Sonny Bono! (I think David is 6 feet) How ridiculous! I don't even think Stan is shorter than Sonny Bono. No one is shorter than Sonny Bono. VH1 needs to Photoshop their pictures better.

The bending of cultural identity in terms of the ways in which people remember reinvents it self upon itself leading the imagery to its repositioning of opposits within the smaller and larger frameworks of identity and this invention's relivance to it's everchanging time and place within perception. However the precieved and the preciever functionally fail to recognize the point within the larger context for the smaller context in its relivance to the reinvented and precieved self. Thus having recognized the newly realivant self proclamed cultural identity in its new scheem the memory of the opposite counterparts of culture finds its place displaced in terms of any possible recovery of the origional meanings of culture and its former perception of meaning and relivance. Therefore the smaller context both has meaning and fails to have meaning in the larger context when it is displaced by its former relivance in the self realization that no realization was firmly in place from the begining of relivance to the smaller context. To further note the failure of cultural and its larger context it is unfortunate that the majority of people merely precieve the conflict within the smaller context with itself within itself as simply being a matter of fun. Thus most of culture, as it is experienced in the larger context,

Before I was interupted... please let me continue... Thus the relivant point is that for most of people who experience the culture in the larger context the experience for them is one of oblivious and non cognitive responsiveness to any and all potential meanings which lie beneath the values held in place by the ever conflicted smaller context.

There remains, then, only the culturelly illiterate who will set the values for the prevailing changes, what ever they may turn out to be, the self realized self realizations of cultural relivance.

Reading this is like looking through barf trying to figure out what the vegetables are. "Look, I think this is a carrot."

Maybe that's why Terry would always get Bs on his essays....B is for Barf.
