Exhibit 2 (Big Audio Dynamite: E=MC2)
Er..
Paul Weller’s Into Tomorrow?
It’s good, but it’s not right.
How about Paul Weller’s “Arbitrary lines superimposed on the globe to support the delusion that humans have some power over the entity beyond their comprehension that is time in the tube station at midnight”?
If an abstract concept falls wanking to the floor, does anybody hear it?
I didn’t know who to blame
I couldn’t tell the time
I didn’t know where I was
We’d crossed the International Date Line
Yesssss!
A metaphysical footnote, if I may.
I flew from Honolulu to Auckland, crossing the IDL just before midnight on 3 February 1990 and landing on the morning of the 5th. Nine months after that I flew west out of NZ and came home via Bangkok. So for me 04/02/90 never happened. Does the universe owe me a day? And how do I apply to get it back?
