- I hate to spoil anyone's fun..BUUUUUTTTT....
-
- Some friends (Andy, where are you?) and I had fun a few months ago trying
- to puzzle out "Statue Got Me High". We came up with numerous parallels
- to the play "Don Quixote," and the whole thing made quite a bit of sense.
-
- Or so we thought...until my girlfriend, who's an arts writer for the
- local paper, got to interview one of the Johns, and asked him about
- the influence "Don Quixote" had on "Statue."
-
- His response? "I've never heard of the play...I may have encountered
- it a long time ago and it influenced the song a bit, but certainly not
- consciously."
-
- So before one reads "Triangle Man" as a complex tale of entropy and/or
- theology, remember that the authors may just have been writing a fun
- song.
-
- Either that or they're just playing games with all of us :-)
-
- Oh well...
