I've been thinking about these guys, six foot long, blood-red tube worms that live deep in the ocean. Without sunlight they survive in hydrothermal vents (magma interacting with water to create livable conditions). These conditions are thought to exist on Mars, so who knows.
everyone wants to talk about deep sea creatures who operate under extreme conditions. who cares how a fish manages to live 1000 meters below the surface if we never see them!!!! what about the little guys! show me the crabs and anemones ans chitons and whelks and limpets and nudibranchs
If they life forever, earth is ether their heaven or their hell. because the whole idea of heaven and hell is that it is eternal. they are eternally here
I'm blown away by how natural and relevant they feel. Especially in his early work, (who's afraid of Virginia Woolf, carnal knowledge, the graduate) he explores the human condition through subtle intimacies and conversations that reveal incredible depths of his characters.
A biography on Syd Barrett that's amazingly comprehensive. From his poetry, to paintings, to early songs, it delves deep into his history and shines a light on the colorful mystery of Syd.
