To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave

Monty Python - Galaxy

Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
It's 100,000 light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick
But out by us its just 3,000 light years wide
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point,
We go round every 200 million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding Universe.
The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
12 million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there's bugger all down here on earth.

Qualcuno sta lavorando per voi...

Presto su questo simpatico sitarello lo sconvolgente articolo in cui spiego affinità e divergenze tra Kill Bill di Quentin Tarantino e il doppio disco Use your Illusion dei Guns n' Roses.
Evviva la critica sinestetica!

DARK STAR
(Garcia/Hunter)

Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
Search light casting
for faults in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I while can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissolving in ice petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye
Shall we go, you and I while can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds
