Comfortably Numb

We are all just mammals and vertebrates. We didn’t exactly evolve from angels, we just happen to be their poor relations, or physical manifestations. So we are a special case. That’s you and me living the dream, in heaven on earth. 

I’m glad it’s finally cleared up. This (old) news did the rounds on Facebook this week. That we didn’t evolve from primates, we just happen to be primates.

I must say I heaved a sigh of relief, again, that I have ended up on the okay side of evolution.

Other mammals just cannot understand why the lyrics of Money by Pink Floyd, for example, are so cynical. As we know, ‘Money’ it’s a gas,’ is not really meant to be that.

Tell a dog it’s dinner time, shake its bag of chunks, and then tell it you’re only joking. Evolution didn’t give our animals a sense of irony or humour, not at feeding time at any rate.

New car, caviar, four-star, daydream

Think I’ll buy me a football team.

There’s a version called Dub Side of the Moon. Shocking. I should really love second hand ideas, because pop culture is so much about that. But for this I just can’t. Really, this time of the year I’d rather go Comfortably Numb. Catch my drift?
