I agree with the phallic symbols of the snake & pipe, the water=sex motif works, and the rest he wrote was also pretty good. please ...absorb the images in my mind... [esp. about the doc's sugar bowl bit!] >> use of snakes as a metaphor for imminent danger, and you >>have the following: this guy is intrigued by sex, but he >>also views it as exceptionally dangerous, most likely from >>the perspective of 'i'm going to get hurt emotionally by >>this'. which is similar to how the guy doesn't want to touch the coffee. >> * by 'doc's sugar bowl' my coffee gets cold >> * 'cause i don't want to see that >> * i've got no one to blame but my fat self an anxious guy who likes coffee frets in the doctor's office for a checkup. The sugar bowl is by a mirror, or the visit itself is symbolic for a reality check. The sugar bowl is where medecine can come from to make his life's coffee cup sweeter, but in order to do this he must undergo self-examination, which he avoids. He is accustomed to 'locking the door' to his problems rather than confronting them. "my coffee" (we know TMBG likes coffee) is contentment and an ESCAPE from problems (reasons: the rich aroma, the warmth, the caffeine-highs,etc.) As the coffee gets cold, or as his surreal happiness fades, the guy realizes that his problems stem from himself. He only learns all this because the coffee was placed near the mirror. Then add this: >> it seems as though this guy's procrastinating stuff >> (including, but probably not limited to the drinking of coffee) because he >> doesn't want to realize he's to blame. of course, he already realizes >> he's to blame, so it's not working. right on, TMBG soldier! --eeks ;) p.s. Does anyone have interps for Nightgown of Sullen Moon (other than the ones at tmbg.org)? To me it is about someone dealing with repressed anger/feelings. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com From owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Mon Jan 19 00:09:30 1998 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id AAA24027 for tmbg-list-outgoing; Mon, 19 Jan 1998 00:09:30 -0500 (EST) Received: from envy.loyola.edu (envy.loyola.edu [144.126.178.10]) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id AAA24018 for ; Mon, 19 Jan 1998 00:09:27 -0500 (EST) Received: by envy.loyola.edu (5.57/Ultrix3.0-C) id AA08554; Sun, 18 Jan 98 23:58:51 -0500 From: mjames@envy.loyola.edu (Matthew James) Message-Id: <9801190458.AA08554@envy.loyola.edu> Subject: TMBG: This American Life To: tmbg-list@tmbg.org Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 23:58:51 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL22] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-tmbg-list@ufp.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: mjames@envy.loyola.edu (Matthew James) I was listening to WJHU 88.1 Baltimore today at around 3:30 and sure enough the Dial-A-Song episode with TMBG was on! They even played I have Learnt the Value of Human Sacrifice! (Or at least I think they played it, I haven't actually heard the song, and it has a line about This American Life in it). It was pretty cool, and the woman doing the interview seems to be a huge fan and tries to play TMBG every week on the show. I hope it comes on again.

I don't mind that it's a song I've heard a million times, but I do mind that they ran the credits over it. God, and not only that they cut it off before it could end. Dagnabbit!
