Did you notice something? He talked about a change in the weather forcing people to change their way of life.....Climate Change!?!?!? Imagine that, and there were no SUVs back then!

Yes, the original version is the best, Dick Wagner on guitar.

Yup. A friend of mine saw the first solo tour, and a guitarist was sitting in darkness off to one side, wasn’t introduced or acknowledged. My friend suspected it was Fripp. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner worked together back when (DW’s been gone over 10 years I think), Hunter played the guitar part on Solsbury Hill and I think toured with PG.

the tablets got baked and the last things written on them were preserved for us. :^)

written language was invented by illiterates.

Even then, folks were berated for “your” “you’re”, “lose” “loose”.

It’s weird to think that cuneiform was in use for over 3000 years (the last known inscription dates from about 4th AD, similar to the last known Egyptian inscription using hieroglyphs), about the same length of time the alphabet has now been in use. :^)

The Phoenicians used one. And being seafaring people, they spread it around. The ancient Greeks attributed the introduction of the Greek alphabet to the Phoenicians. They used ships... I wonder if that’s where the Barca family got their name...

No kidding...I’m convinced that there were dudes on the high seas thousands of years before the Imperialists (as the Left calls our culture). But unlike ‘climate change’, in this case, people will have to make a strong (or at least decent) case to be ‘accepted science’.
