    Jeans

    Right, so Wranglers did make it to the city and the east coast then. In my imagination (I'm from England), they were a Texas or South West thing..I'm imagining rodeos (maybe the Wrangler logo)... Though scottyrocks, you look young in your avatar so maybe they started out West but made it...

    The best films no one has ever seen.

    I've read most of this thread but didn't see (sorry if I'm mistaken) anyone mention Chris Marker'sLe Jetee 28 minutes long b&w constructed (mainly) of stiils. Well worth 1/2 an hour of anyone's time IMO. (Terry Gilliam's '12 Monkeys' is based on it). Also has anyone mentioned Melville's Le...

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    I Know It's Over Many of the one's already mentioned but also Leonard Cohen 'Hey that's no way to say Goodbye'. And 'I Know It's Over' by the Smiths reminds me of lost time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18GrFywPkXE

    Who is your favorite "forgotten singer"?

    I know it was way back in the thread but just remembered it was Lieber and Stoller who wrote 'Hound Dog' specifically for BMT. They later wrote a lot of Elvis hits in the 50's, writing specifically for him too. (Her version of HD is great though). Fairly obscure Sun recording artiste Sonny...

    Who should sing the theme for the next Bond?

    I remember hearing something about Amy Winehouse possibly being lined up for the job. She's got an interesting vocal technique but her other, er habits, might prevent it happening. P.S. Is she widely known in the U.S?

    People who talk to themselves

    They still could be schizophrenic, there mightn't be anyone on the other end of the line.[huh] :)

    People who talk to themselves

    lol Voice in the wilderness. By the way, don't a lot of religious mystics/prophets hear voices/see visions and that kinda stuff or am I in the wrong thread...?

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    ...all language is metaphorical and all literary works or interpretations are allegorical?? Could be. Now what was Jesus' explanation for using parables?

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    Interesting you should say that. I was taught that hair shirts and other such things were part of esoteric school work and were used in order to 'divide attention' , that is not lose ourselves/become infatuated/engrossed in the object of attention. Also taught that they could be used as an alarm...

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    A bit like the Nike advertisement- swoosh logo and strap line 'Just Do It' [huh]. I'm serious.

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    Cheesecake is indeed a pie but they're all puddings deep down...except when they're just 'custard' in which case there's no hope of them ever being pudding. I am aware of this saying though I don't interpret in the way you do. To me, the 'Christ' is within and it is a name/symbol given in the...

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    Quick, back to the occult...lol IMHO it's unfounded 'belief' that one's own side is right all the time that causes violence. This 'war on terror' stuff (as if there could be such a thing) is basically a war between 'belief' and non belief in my eyes. This is not meant to be a condemnation of...

    Thank you. Must be a School thing ;) The plates are always different but meal is the same!

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    Ok, so IMO we heard some fairly compelling things about why people have Faith as part of their practice. It seems to me that it's central to a certain 'path' and I can see how that would be. I still feel that outside of a 'system', if you like, that belief doesn't really make any sense. What I...

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    I will need to give it a little time to respond fully to what both you and John say. Before that though, I think that both of you seem to use a fairly specialized language. it takes a little while for me to try to understand your terminology. That's fair enough. Obviously, around the world...

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    It seems to me John In Covina that you practice a technique of going against self-will and allowing the holy Spirit to direct you. What you call passive acceptance my practice would call self-observation, where a person would lessen identification/attachment with/to the smaller selves(the...

    Thanks for making time to write that John in Covina. I'll need to give it some contemplation.
