'Basically time is just a dimension of the universe...' a 'homeless' | |||
fellow delivers a monologue on time, sound, music ('there are those | |||
who use music to kill people'); people made fun of him after he came | |||
out to California (in a dream, America is a big dog, Los Angeles a | |||
giant tick sucking its blood); geneticists and computer scientists | |||
have developed perfect clones. He hates garbage. His adoptive mother | |||
tried to rape him. When he was in Hawaii he got the word from outer | |||
space that he was the 'self-proclaimed king of the universe'.<ref>Joe | |||
re-used some of this in [[Dreamland: A Compilation]]</ref><ref>I've | |||
listened to a lot of homeless people in downtown LA - this guy talks | |||
coherently (his ideas are nonsense), more like an actor playing a | |||
part.</ref> | |||
10:20: 'No one can dare say for sure one way or the other that a the | |||
universe is finite or infinite...' a different guy talks about the | |||
universe, how dropped out of Brooklyn College, is a bit autistic, | |||
dropped out (1987), spent nights on the street. He's living in | |||
Baltimore, gives advice on the street, sometimes goes to Washington | |||
(DC). | |||
19:50: The first guy is back, tells the story of a fellow going down a | |||
road, seeing a group beating a corpse, allegedly because of his debts. | |||
The fellow paid off the corpse's debts; the corpse came back as a | |||
beggar who helped the fellow become rich.<ref>This is an example of a | |||
<i>Grateful dead</i> folk tale.</ref> | |||
22:50: The second guy wants there to be a Nobel prize for philosophy. | |||
