I got tickets to see Paul Simon and Robert Zimmerman on July 27 so I hope you're right and Jeremy Lovell is wrong. Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore. It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is comin' down I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Well you also jumped to conclusions regards parrots,we all jump to conclusions too often on message boards. Regards,the who will be remembered in the future debate,for example Pele versus Einstein,from Einstein's point of view he would consider the question to be pointless,and not worse discussion.Why? Einstein wrote a remarkable essay,in the late 40s,it really was an essay in despair regards the world and self flagellation of himself. Einstein as we know,while believing in a divinity nonetheless believed firmly that there is no afterlife,quite,simply to die is total extinction,to be nada,nothing,no thing--obliteration. In this essay I speak of he states that his drive for earth-shaking discovery was an act of cowardice. He boldly states that his all consuming drive to be great and renowned and unforgettable was predicated on his own desperate fear of death. That his drive to be an "earthshaker" was fixed in the notion that somehow by reaching an unforgettable status he would grab hold of immortality. And as futurist,he was a pessimist,as he mistrusted the forces of progress in itself,it was again,to him,just the meaningless rat-race of mankind trying to establish they weren't like everything all going into the abyss of nothingness. I do NOT say whether I concur with Einstein's view,I only throw this out to give one of the most "unforgettable" persons view of this status,"unforgettable" Max90

It's amazing how people read what they want into Michel de Notredame's "visions". The only one that really interests me is the 1999 prediction, one of the few he assigned a date to... I believe, if I have the argot right, that it's due to "little bits and pieces of here and there quatrains". It does seem that this fellow had a good time picking through the leavings of many riddles looking for the occasional word or phrase that he could ascribe some significance to. Not surprising, is it, that in hundreds of man-years of Nostradamus studies by true believers no one had previously picked up on this, ah, obvious prediction... Level Head
