Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Ken Average	#1 by Ken Bennett at Sep 26, 1972 at 12:46 AM EST
	I know that the "real" Moon Sammy is a fat black janitor/night watchman that Doughty met at some point. What the rest actually meant to him (aside from the weird apocalyptic musings that seem to infuse the whole album), I have no clue. However, I named one of my cats after this song so I can't help but think about it in terms of cat/human perspective. The simplicity and straightforwardness of the two "Moon Sammy" verses is very catlike (especially this cat, who was very certain of herself and her little world), and the rest of it, the complicated part that spins the mind out into its own universe, is human (especially me, because at the time I got this cat I was just settling into graduate school and my mind was going all over the place). I had a real sense of "great admiration" for her and her self-containment--what a weird little thing she was; I suppose all cats are (they contain multitudes). I don't know if Doughty's a cat man but if he were I suspect he might appreciate that reading.

No Picture Eric Wanna Be	#2 by Eric Nowariak at Sep 10, 1987 at 7:42 PM EST
	The part that starts with "babylon, mystery, mother of harlots" to the very end of the song are all quotes from the book of revelations mixed together. I think Doughty had a thing with the language used in the book of revelations for a while or something, because years later parts of his rant on BT's "Never Gonna Come Back Down" were taken from there too.
