So when I was pulling the image of Cerebus punching himself in the head to use in my "Back into it" post, I noticed this:

That's like the Cylons quoting "All Along The Watchtower" out of the blue. Neat, odd. Thanks for digging that up, Matt. That's a sort of classic AMOC that I wish/hope this site could be more.

It's been pretty heavy around here lately, and I know I contributed to that. Can't exactly say I'm sorry, 'cause I ain't, but this is the sort of stuff that makes this site special. Nice job, Matt.

Michael? I disagree, in part.
The song is nice--darh, pretty flowers.
Transcribing the notes spot-on (I can only assume) is pretty cool.
But, man, is that ever a dark passage. Especially out of context from the rest of Latter Daies.
Wow. I gots ta get me back to that book.
