MA-14 - A Saucerful of Songs  NEW 2021 LINK


Amongst many fun tunes, #23 is of interest.  It was created in wish fulfillment that some of this wonderful Space  Brothers would deign to show their advanced science and morality to us poor Earthbound types.

This is a fairly typical device used by people who reject the idea of God, but still feel inclomplete without a high-five from somebody or something Out There.  But as a couple of guys observed,



            And what may be winking at us from the other side is not likely to be anything benevolent.
            -- Nelson S Pacheco and Tommy R Blann

 See you Monday.
