Thoughts

So there's 1968, banner year for muzik. Tropicalia, Psychedelia, TROPIC OF CANCER, all doing the can-can on the stage of your mind.

One particular highlight that springs to mind is Odessey and Oracle by the Zombies; what of that typo that they never changed, is it part of the overall message of the album, of the decade?!?!!?


That's just one part of the equation though. What equation, you understandably ask. Well. It looks like this:

Maxwell's demon Physics
a hypothetical being imagined as controlling a hole in a partition dividing a gas-filled container into two parts, and allowing only fast-moving molecules to pass in one direction, and slow-moving molecules in the other. This would result in one side of the container becoming warmer and the other cooler, in violation of the second law of thermodynamics.
ORIGIN late 19th cent.: named after J. C. Maxwell (see Maxwell 2 ).

FUGHEDDABOUTIT. First of all, there's this guy:

RICHARD FEYNMAN

And then the Bee Gees put out "Odessa" in 1969; similar title to the previous years' Bluntstone, Argent and co. masterpiece.

I'm hearing it for the first time as I type these words. If you don't gotta copy, then read this Ed O'Bannon related hypothetical hip-hop question.
