{..whew!..}
please note:
no hallucinogenic drugs were used in creating this video. No LSD or STP or mescalin or even marijuana mary jane (or whatever it is young folk call it nowadays). .. though it could be assumed brain damage was a contributing factor.
.. nor were any skulls or islands or giant gorillas harmed during the production of this video.
.. dont watch this vid hoping for porn .. there is none - of the human variety, anyway. There may be intergalactic beings who might find some of the shapes bawdy, but maybe they won't have a problem with that. Their society may be more sophisticated and broad minded than ours. If it turns out intergalactic beings contact YouTube to complain, then i'll be disappointed. That supposedly higher beings have little else to do but to complain about apparently pornographic geometric shapes is very sad.

David Byrne - Life During Wartime (Live at Union Chapel)[13/18]
"Life during Wartime" is a song by New Wave band Talking Heads. It first appeared on Fear of Music in 1979. Its live version from Stop Making Sense in 1983 was released as a single, which peaked at #80 on the Pop Singles Chart. The song's lyrics tell of a civil insurrection in the USA (the cities Houston, Detroit and Pittsburgh are mentioned by name) with the singer commenting on various activities involving an apparent guerrilla movement. ("Transmit the message, to the receiver / hope for an answer some day / I got three passports, a couple of visas / you don't even know my real name.") The singer laments that due to having to live underground, he can't go to night clubs. A phrase from the lyrics, "This ain't no party / This ain't no disco", became a catchphrase in the Punk rock and New Wave music genres.
In David Bowman's book This Must Be the Place: The Adventures of Talking Heads in the Twentieth Century, Byrne is quoted as describing the genesis of the song: "I wrote this in my loft on Seventh and Avenue A." And later, "I was thinking about Baader-Meinhof. Patty Hearst. Tompkins Square. This a song about living in Alphabet City."
The song was covered and is used at live shows by Welsh indie alternative band, The Automatic. The song is occasionally played in concert by Athens, Georgia, jam band Widespread Panic. The song was included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
In the film Stop Making Sense, the song is best known for the aerobic exercising and jogging by David Byrne and the chorus singers.

Hi Bob! Thanks for checking up. My daughter is better but it was my turn to visit the Doc. I've had to stay off of the computer to stop my headaches, and I should have a cool pair of glasses to help me out by the end of the week. I hope to be back soon! Hope you are well and having a good week! Many Smiles, Monica :)
Hello Bob, Thanks for the invite to your Playlist. I'm sure that I'll enjoy it very much. Merry Christmas to you and those that are close to you- especially to the ones that you love. Have a great day.
That is what I am supposed to doing now. I have a little work to do on Thoreau. Fortunately, I do not have to read too much of his stuff. I am using mostly secondary sources, but it is still alot of reading.
Many Smiles,
Monica :)
Thanks so much for the sub!
