Goodbye Prisoner


When I was 12, I wanted to be one of four people. Two were fictional, one of which, number 6, was played by Patrick McGoohan. He not only was the star, but wrote some of the episodes of The Prisoner...







Thanks Patrick....the Prisoner is finally free...

Why do I like trance music?

Ok, confession time. I like some trance music. No, I don't do drugs, I don't even dance well (actually, my feeble attempts at moving to music really should not be called dancing...I can't dance). My wife got me into the stuff. I can't recall where she first heard it, but we both found the music relaxing and stress reducing. Especially on the way home from work in the morning, some nice trance, particularly vocal trance, just seemed the perfect way to unwind. So I listed to ATB, Oceanlab, Robert Miles, Above and Beyond, etc. Not that I don't listen to other music, heavens no, but I admit it....I like trance music...so sue me.

I hear the stuff is immensely popular in Europe. Also popular with young people who like to do drugs and dance, which, again, I don't do drugs...never have, never will, and can't dance to save my behind. Maybe I should have been a European. I like British and German stuff.

and the "Yes" award for bizzarre lyrics goes to....

Just when you think the old prog group Yes had weird ass lyrics that sound like they make sense but don't,....we give you The Killers and "Human"...

did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart
...Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well
..You've got to let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
You've got to let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my kneesLooking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?Are we human?
Or are we dancer?Are we human
Or are we dancer?

I also just finished the Wii game "Super Mario Galaxy"....I think the game designers are smokin the same brand of crack as these guys....
