Right back to where we started!

Thanks to late night Jam Forte, Teerminator (esp for the emails!), Mossy, and Fremder for brainstorming in white last week. I used a few at least....and to Rogor Mortis for the last tune, which was the impetus for the theme.

Sorry about missing Europe and Canada....but I just HAD to get Madagascar!:p

Let's ride!

Nice theme show. I've done a "Basic Geography" BR and I've got stuff for a second... :D

Just went back and read the old thread. I had thought you did one, and glad it covers different material.

A lively discussion too. We should call you "lightning rod":cool:

Ride indeed!! Do I need to freshen up my vaccinations??? This wil fill the passport with visa stamps!!! Hmmm... got everything packed, but where is that damned toothbrush?!?!

I RQed Vertu not long ago, as a "research RQ", and liked it! I'll be looking forward to hear what they have to say about the land of "striped djellebas"....

Looking forward to the trek Rick!

Our fremder said:
Anything Vertú has to say is good by me.

Rick... Are you sure that Jerusalem and New Jerusalem are the same place? My Bible seems to indicate otherwise... :D ;)

In high school I was a geography whiz. Over time I have deteriorated somewhat. I even used to know where Ogadadoupu was.....

But my knowledge of biblical matters is only slightly ahead of Archie Bunker's.

I put some effort into the "map" too! Oh well....

Where is New Jerusalem anyway?

There are different interpretations to this, but check out Revelation 21:

So as far as I can tell, the new Jerusalem is on the new earth. Who knows, maybe it's in the same place on the new earth as the present Jerusalem is on the present earth.

But it's new! In fact, everything's new! Nice. :)

(and for the record, I have no clue about Ogadadoupu.)

the son of an archaeologist weighs in...
 

There's a new earth??!?!? Rick, if your show doesn't take us there, will you please put together one that does?? :D This earth seems to be going to hell in a handbasket...:rolleyes:

And didn't Iron Butterfly do a ponderously long song about Ogadadoupu?

Re: the son of an archaeologist weighs in...
 

Funny!

It's either in Chad or Upper Volta....

Now Ulaan Bator.........:eek:

Re: Show 20 - "Around The World In 3 Hours"
 

If you're going around the world in three hours, you're spending an extended period in Russia.

There are at least three other Marillion songs with titles about places, not alcoholic drinks, that you could have used: Estonia, Berlin Costa del Slough.


...and the Mastermind catalog is STILL not back on the moon...

What was the total air fare?

Re: Re: Show 20 - "Around The World In 3 Hours"
 

There are hundreds of songs to pick from that's for sure. True about Russia...but that keeps the air fare down.

I think the Marillion was a suggestion......

Good old Mastermind. I need my ears cleaned out, it's been too long since I've seen them!

I figured you for a commie anyway. :p


Come up my way and we can go to the pub they play at on weekends.
They mostly cover metal noise in their first sets so you'd have to be able
to stick about until 1:30am/2:00am to hear any music.

Apparently, Dr. Seuss was an avid reader of Revelation.

As a resident of Pennsylvania, I'm surprised that Moses got it wrong. ;)

New Jerusalem is not far from where I was born and raised. Quite a "holy" place. Bethlehem, Egypt, New Jerusalem, Emmaus, Jordan, et al.

Actually a socialist would be more descriptive. I have communism as an absence of a strong government.

Have I told you the story about Bill Behrends' wife punching out a woman at the bar down here? They played Progscape 94 in Balt, and numerous times in bars and at Orion. Is Rich B. still gone? He's a monster.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Show 20 - "Around The World In 3 Hours"
 

:D Gone?

Physically, he's still with us. :rolleyes:

due to...
 

the Super Bowl and some unexpected personal happenings, I will be late on Sunday. Unless a long tune delays the start of the show, The show itself should still run at 9PM.

I'll be in for the last hour or so of the show.

Monday I'll be there on time.

Damn...
 

Rick,

I missed the "trip" and the replay.... :( And, while I might (should?) have a Mardi Gras parade as an excuse, it was really family houseguests taking a break from the New Orleans parades to visit me.... which is about all (other than a Mardi Gras parade!) that might have kept me from listening!

Don't forget the WWII artificial city of New Jerusalem in California's Central Valley, close to Los Banos.

Roger -Dot- Lee, always being difficult...
