Wots the deal
I just saw the video for What God Wants Pt 1. It is filled with lots of shots of various monkies. Is this supposed to relate to his "can humanity be human" theme that he is always on about? Thanks.

Re: Wots the deal
They're apes, not monkeys.... but yeah.
Quote:
"The idea for the album," says Waters, "was a strangely prophetic one. I was working within the general metaphor of a gorilla watching television, the ape being a symbol for anyone who's been sitting with his mouth open in front of network and cable news for the last 10 years. The record explores the idea of television as medicine: It's either healing us or killing us. The truth is it's doing both, healing us as a target audience but killing off our respective cultures."

I hope Paolo considers to start the "Ask Dr. Botley" sub-forum.

I don't think his knowledge should be hidden in PM's.

(And I'm NOT joking.)
