Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Patrick Average	#1 by Patrick Ryan at May 31, 1974 at 7:48 AM EST
	I heard the same thing as zooey, but to me there is a real sad element to the song. There is one person out there for everyone, but the singer is never going to meet their soul mate "Ana Ng and I are getting old and we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence". The singer is losing hope that they will ever find love.

	I really dig the self-references in this song. The bridge is about a bridge, the stick is about sticking. Has anyone found more self-references?

No Picture Belian Average	#3 by Belian Carter at Jul 2, 1981 at 6:51 AM EST
	This song is partially about the love he thinks is on the other side of the world. The other compontnet of this song is John's(band member) infatuation h with the 1964 Worlds Fair. He went when he was a kid and became enthralled. He has spoken about this publilcly. Anyhow...he imagines that Ana was at the Worlds Fair and mabey he just missed her "why was the bench still warm who had been there?" ANother Worlds Fair reference "80 dolls yelling 'Small girl after all' "comes from Disney's "It's a Small World" ride which debuted at you guessed it... The 1964 Worlds Fair.

	John Linnell said, "I mean it generated out of this simple idea of imagining someone on the exact opposite side of the globe. There's only one person for you and they're located at some point at random on the globe. In Ana Ng, the person is located at exactly the opposite pole. That's all there is to it. Then there was this Pogo cartoon that I read when I was a kid. The characters are going to dig to China and one of them is wondering what's on the other side of the world and he actually pulls out a revolver -- it was weird to see a gun in one of these comics -- and he shoots through the globe."
