[atlantaprog] "lizard king" versus "elf of light" ;-)

<No more or less than JA's I would suspect... ;) >
 
Jon is clever in that he vaguely points to spiritual truth and positive 
awakenings... A kind of "fill in the blank" template which serves any of a 
number of different religious and philosophic world views.  
 
His lyrics (and his interviews) have become much more *lucid* in his mature 
years... (mature years... can I say that about someone in their 50's?)
 
Who knows, perhaps Jim  would have become more lucid had he survived to see his 
50's.  I'd suspect he would.  
 
But I think when you remove the hyberbole and colorful metaphor from Jim's 
lyrics, you arrive at a wandering meaninglessness.   Remove the hyperbole and 
colorful metaphor from Jon Anderson's lyrics and you arrive at a wandering 
meaningfulness.
 
All very drenched IMO of course.
 
<sorry Mark...but here I can dis Yes and DT and Rush and SB all I want;) lol>

 
So true Beth!  No problemo!  
 
Fire away!  ;-)
