Gawd, I can't believe I didn't include this in my first post on this thread, but it had to be added...

"Hi! It's me, the girl from the bus, remember? The last tour?
Well, information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST.
Wisdom is the domain of the Wiz (which is extinct).
Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament currently in resurgence..."
-- Frank Zappa, The Packard Goose

I gotta agree, music is THE BEST. It's the only MAGIC in the world that I have personally experienced and have participated in. Thanks Uncle Frank.

I agree Yesspaz, I almost chose those Siberian Khatru and Awaken lyrics myself when I first posted. Damn, it's hard to choose a favorite Yes lyric LOL! But those are right up there for me as well. Yes was such a huge part of my life growing up in the 70s (born in 1964); they were the soundtrack to my mental movies whilst reading all the classic fantasy books like the Narnia books and The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings and others too numerous to list...

LOL. It definitely is "Jonish" KeithieW, he lives in his own world I think, and good on 'im for living there ! It's too bad more people on this Earth don't understand his language, but fortunately there have been enough to allow him to make a living, so thank goodness for that .

It can't be a list unless you put in some old Marillion

And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolour I must fear evil
For I am but mortal and mortals can only die
Asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless faceless watchers
That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall
Who orders desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation in the guarded bureaucratic wombs
Minister, Minister care for your children
Order them not into damnation
To eliminate those who would trespass against you
For whose is the kingdom, the power, the glory for ever and ever
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

"Halt who goes there!" - " Death!!"
"Approach ... friend"

Mine might be "We looked around the open shore waiting for something!"

Or perhaps "Where we are coming from or where we go we only know we come with sound."

Or maybe "At the start of every day a child begins to play, and all we need to know is that the future is a friend of yours and mine."

Love that Random Jonism generator.

To offer at Mercury
To love wonderously beyond Phebes
Heaven forever will be wonderful
Seeker often was shining gently
Saying at heart
To experience through homeworld
Speaker shall wonderously friendly
Joyful certain planet
Under heaven trying happily
Dreaming after seasoned edge
