Change of Proposition
To follow on from Jon Wozencroft's comments, he first noted how Warhol retrospectively edited his own utterances; when asked for clarification on his comment that we would all be famous for fifteen minutes, he claimed that what he had meant was that we would all be famous in 15 minutes. The gloss placed on this by Jon was what a difference that proposition made - as if most words in sentences have little or no function and so could be changed without any perceptible alteration in meaning! My interest lies elsewhere, how Warhol was rewriting his own history, the wit, and the change from everyone having a slice to everyone being within tantalizing distance. As noted, this was then followed by reporting Ian Curtis' mid-concert digression:
"There are some things that you'll never understand...she's lost control"
When trying to find reference to this for the post, I could only find
"There are some things that we'll never understand...she's lost control".
Ah, that crafty switcheroo. Maybe I misheard. Anyway, in the song itself, we start hearing about how "I've lost control" before the heavy repetition of the title, showing how easy this transference business is. In hommage to this, I have posted a mix that has nothing to do with the above, but does share a title.

It's a merger of lanes...

...with fuel being dumped on both of them. Which means that although there are few overt similarities between the styles at play here, deeper forces may be at work than any of us realise. Don't add water to these toxic flames - they'll only guffaw in response. Douse them with your ears, fool.

[Image briefing: on one of Ken's many trips abroad to sample foreign luggage, and luggage accessories, he fell into the arms of this little beauty, which he kindly passed on. Lightweight and friction free, this guitar/drumstick/fan/slide-hammer combo-with-straps can only be described as "complete". Unless you're one of those wankers who like a little pocket for your mobile.]
