I'm not positive but - you may just have to wait until you "get to the other side" to obtain definitive answers to your questions of life.

OK on all of your questions..ha-ha and the other
questions sent in ....NO answers yet.....

There was a pirate once named Joe Quinn ,I think
who seemed to have lots of inside information or
had researched the JFK murder and he claimed the
murder was done by????? what was it he said?
I think he said after lots of messages posted.......
that it was several shooters ,front and back of JFK
and they were members of the C.I.A. and the Mafia.


P.S. What is a pompatous of love?? (What is this
POMPATOUS thingy???)

[NeelyGirl]

and the Mafia

I think you are super warm, but again... I'd hate to speculate.

But if I were a betting woman, that's who I'd put my chips on....

ya know;)

Burt:

I just now realized how cool your SILENT RUNNING song
title is. (Is this from the 1980's tune that tells about the
man telling his wife to " get the guns and hide out ......
till ???? something...something) " (Can't remember it)
This is the kind Art Bell plays for bumper tunes. I use to
hear it played on radio all the time. Seems like one Art
needs in his collection.

I know that some pirates have compiled lists of all the
cool/mysterious songs but let's start it up again.
How about your tune #1.Silent Running and

#2. One Tin Soldier (I always liked it even though I am a
"Hawk".

WE MAY NEED TO MOVE THIS TO THE "BRIG" as it is going
off subject here.

[Bob73]

The Coral castle was built by a frail man with secrets of how he did it. And the Philadelphia experiment was not a time travel experiment but was a magnetic feild experiment that was neuclear powered with the intent of tring to produce a cloaking effect. But the experiment did not work as intended which often happens when ppl do not understand all the forces and peramiters in such an experiment. Which when you introduce that much power into a magnetic feild, many sorts of unpredictable things are possible. (eg: like what has happened in the Bermuda Triangle. much of what has been caused there has happened do to strong magnetic feilds, sources unknown.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB73!!!!!!

Here is a long drawn out boring answer to Neely's question #8 The "Pompatus" question.

Note:....It's long and not really that interesting. I would have just posted the link but I could not get the link to work.



Clues? Pfui. We have cracked the freaking case, thanks to some outstanding legwork by Jon Cryer--actor, cowriter, and coproducer of the movie Pompatus of Love--and my new assistant, J.K. Fabian. J.K. has what it takes to make a real impact in this business: pluck, luck, and an outstanding record collection.

"Pompatus" mystified millions when Steve Miller used it in his 1973 hit "The Joker": "Some people call me the space cowboy. / Yeah! Some call me the gangster of love. / Some people call me Maurice, / Cause I speak of the Pompatus of love."

"Space cowboy" and "gangster of love" referred to earlier Miller songs. Maurice was from Miller's 1972 tune "Enter Maurice," which appeared on the album Recall the Beginning ... A Journey From Eden. "Enter Maurice" had this lyric: "My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper sweet words of epismetology in your ear and speak to you of the pompitous of love."

Great, now there were two mystery words. What's more, it appeared even Miller himself was uncertain how pompatus was spelled. It appeared as "pompatus" in at least two books of sheet music but as "pompitous" in the lyrics included with "Recall the Beginning."

Miller has said little about the P-word over the years. In at least one interview, fans say, he claimed "it doesn't mean anything--it's just jive talk."

Not quite.

Some sharp-eared music fan noticed the "Enter Maurice" lyric above bore a marked resemblance to some lines in a rhythm and blues tune called "The Letter" by the Medallions. The song had been a hit in R & B circles in 1954.

J.K. found the record. It had the lines, "Oh my darling, let me whisper sweet words of [something like epismetology] and discuss the [something like pompatus] of love." J.K. tried to find the sheet music for the song, but came up only with the Box Tops hit ("My baby, she wrote me a letter").

Then came a stroke of luck. Jon Cryer the movie guy had stumbled onto the secret of pompatus. Eager to reveal it to the world, he sent it to--who, Rolling Stone? The New York Times?

Of course not. He sent it to us.

Speculation about "pompatus" was a recurring motif in the script for The Pompatus of Love. While the movie was in postproduction Cryer heard about "The Letter." During a TV interview he said that the song had been written and sung by a member of the Medallions named Vernon Green. Green, still very much alive, was dozing in front of the tube when the mention of his name caught his attention. He immediately contacted Cryer.

Green had never heard "The Joker." Cryer says that when he played it for Green "he laughed his ass off." Green's story:

"You have to remember, I was a very lonely guy at the time. I was only 14 years old, I had just run away from home, and I walked with crutches," Green told Cryer. He scraped by singing songs on the streets of Watts.

One song was "The Letter," Green's attempt to conjure up his dream woman. The mystery words, J.K. ascertained after talking with Green, were "puppetutes" and "pizmotality." (Green wasn't much for writing things down, so the spellings are approximate.)

"Pizmotality described words of such secrecy that they could only be spoken to the one you loved," Green told Cryer. And puppetutes? "A term I coined to mean a secret paper-doll fantasy figure [thus puppet], who would be my everything and bear my children." Not real PC, but look, it was 1954.

Green went on to record many other songs and is still writing today. He can be reached at P.O. Box 1394, Perris, CA 92572.

Steve Miller must have loved R & B. Another line from "The Joker" goes "I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree. / Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time." A similar line may be found in the Clovers' 1953 hit "Lovey Dovey": "I really love your peaches wanna shake your tree / Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time."

When I spoke to Miller's publicist Jim Welch about these remarkable coincidences, he said Miller's comment was "artistic license." Pressed a bit, Welch said Miller acknowledged that he'd been "influenced" by earlier artists. Not perhaps the most forthcoming statement in the world. But at least we now know it didn't come to him in a dream.

[NeelyGirl]

Thanks for the info Ben:) I appreciate it...

Maybe the best or at least "catch-iest" lyrics ever.

Side note: Through the ages of 18-23 I would see Steve Miller in concert every summer...then I was getting replaced by "youngins"...hows that for funny???

[NeelyGirl]

I have a similar "feeling" M/A... although I don't think soul mates have to be necessarily the opposite sex. I have met women who I feel so "connected" to, and I feel my children are in a way, my soul mates.

Have you ever met or even just talked to people who come in and out of your life like a tornado, tear it up, change it, turn it upside down?? They put their mark on you forever...but then go like the wind.

I feel we are "meant" to meet certain people, and listen to them..we don't have to marry them, just spend time with them.


As for sex..that is such a physical thing..where as, I think being someone's soul mate is such a higher more intimate thing.

EDIT: when I was younger, I thought it would be much easier to "identify" your soul mate..with a color dot on your head..when you find the person of the same color dot on their head...VIOLA' you have found your soul mate...err maybe just the same color dot

I'd like to know if you could only have ONE QUESTION answered - by whatever means necessary (i.e., Time Travel, via a direct response from the Creator, etc., etc., etc.) - what ONE QUESTION would you TRULY like to have answered? Hmmm..... Gravy for the brain....
