“John F. Kennedy … murdered in Dallas by some hapless geek named Oswald who worked for either Castro, the mob, Jimmy Hoffa, the CIA, his dominatrix landlady or the odious, degenerate FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover. The list is long and crazy — maybe Marilyn Monroe’s
first husband fired those shots from the grassy knoll. Who knows? A
whole generation of American journalists is still embarrassed by their
failure to answer that question. JFK’s ghost will haunt the corridors of
power in America for as long as the grass is green and the rivers run
to the sea. Take my word for it, Bubba. I have heard his footsteps for
30 years and I still feel guilty about not being able to explain the
biggest news story of my lifetime to my son.”—Hunter S. Thompson

and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
“I don’t see it as a riddle. The album uses the sun and the moon as
symbols; the light and the dark; the good and the bad; the life force as
opposed to the death force. I think it’s a very simple statement saying
that all the good things life can offer are there for us to grasp, but
that the influence of some dark force in our natures prevents us from
seizing them. The song addresses the listener and says that if you, the
listener, are affected by that force, and if that force is a worry to
you, well I feel exactly the same too. The line ‘I’ll see you on the
dark side of the moon’ is me speaking to the listener, saying, ‘I know
you have these bad feelings and impulses because I do too, and one of the ways I can make direct contact with you is to share with you the fact that I feel bad sometimes.”—Roger Waters

“Great art – or good art – is when you look at it, experience it and it
stays in your mind. I don’t think conceptual art and traditional art are
all that different. There’s boring conceptual art and there’s boring
traditional art. Great art is if you can’t stop thinking about it, then
it becomes a memory.”

Time – the experience of length of time is imagined linear but the charting of the time passing is circular – the clock, the months, the year/orbit.
And so not surprisingly in the words of Dr.Who: “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.”
