25 or 6 to 4...
25= LSD-25
6 to 4 the length of an average "trip"

Or...It could be just a song about a songwriter with writer's block...

Robert Lamm, who wrote the song, explains the meaning of "25 or 6 to 4": "It's just a reference to the time of day. The song is about writing a song. It's nothing mystical." And at 3:35 (or 3:34) am, well, waiting for the break of day makes perfect sense, especially if you can't sleep."

As I watched the “make believe” nuclear mushroom cloud shooting skyward on my television, calculating those who would be murdered if it were real, I realized that the anguish and frustration I felt on September 11, 2001 would pale in comparison to the torment and anger I would feel at the devastation of a nuclear attack perpetrated on our soil. Sadly, if our government doesn’t come together to fight this threat aggressively, it just may come to pass.

I had a similar feeling when I saw the TV show, "The Day After," which showed what Kansas City might look like after being "nuked."

The simple fact is that we're vulnerable in countless ways, and being nuked is actually, probably the least of our worries. On the other hand, imagine what would happen should a nuclear device come across our border, either from the south or the north, or shipped in one of the countless cargo containers that move through our ports. Right now we know that Pakistan and probably North Korea have nukes, and only lack delivery systems to hit us... Pakistan in marginally "friendly," but that could change in an instant.

But being nuked is something from Hollywood. Big mushroom clouds make "good TV." Something far more realistic might be seen in the TV mini-series, "The Stand," (though not through the same method) where every time the camera pans, you see dead bodies. The casualness of those scenes was far more unsettling to me than the mushroom clouds.

Sounds like a good reason, unless he was awake because he was tripping. There were lots of references to drug use in the music of that day and to believe that the members of "Chicago" weren't part of that culture is a stretch IMHO.

Bogus scenario..

Why would terrorists nuke their friends in Hollywood?

[socal_parrot]

It would be naive to think that members of Chicago didn't do drugs in the 60/70's, but you would think that there would be more songs to point to that could be construed as clandestine drug references. Unless you think there is something sneaky about "Saturday in the Park".

"How is it you blame the moderators?"

If you have to ask, you probably wouldn't understand an explanation.

Really, that short, huh?

[lndrvr1972]

You tell'em chicken little.

[westmichman]

I would guess ten hours is a long time for those suffering that affliction.

Nuclear Bomb Fear mongering against "conservatives" is AOK.

• The 1960 anti-Goldwater commercial. Little girl, flowers, nuke.
• Dr Strangelove, 1964 (and other related movies of the era)
• The November 1983 ABC TV movie "The Day After" -- a fictional Nato-Soviet nuke war. Obviously anti-Reagan agit-prop piece.

But on "24"? Oh no, Fox is "FEAR MONGERING!"!

Despite the fact that terror supporting states with nuclear or almost nuclear status like Iran and Korea have threatened to use them against us -- despite the fact that the leaders of major terror organizations have said they would use them if they could get them.
