Let me re-phrase that. Now it seems yet another song needs bass on it. I don’t get what’s so important about bass. And what’s so great about The Merkins they need so long to record a few songs?
I really hope there soon will be a long gap between posts whereby The Merkins will have actually done something. I feel like I’m twiddling my thumbs here. Making up stuff that isn’t even interesting.
Like Stephen Hawking, the almost totally paralysed cosmologist (back in the day he would have been called a philosphopher). I think he’s great. I love it he has ideas. It’s better than having no ideas. I do worry about his worrying though. I just can’t believe he reckons theists are more scared of the dark than atheists. Let’s face it, everyone is afraid of the dark. Except people who aren’t. I’m sure it’s not a competition.
Maybe Stephen is being a little bit provocative there. Good on him.
Stephen says there is no afterlife. Except for atoms. Atoms have an afterlife. And thought is ephemeral. What he means is that the mortal is immortal and the immortal mortal.
As I say, I think he’s great.
I remind myself (in a humble way) of John Cleese in an episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus where they seemed to have run out of ideas for the show and so, for the last segment, they simply did a long, slow zoom-in on a beach with John Cleese dressed up as a Roman soldier, and a voice-over explaining that there really wasn’t anything else they could think of.
