Every one of us loves every one of us.
I forgot how excellent the Ear Candy album by King's X was. I wanted to hear a song that had that chorus in it ("every one of us loves every one of us..."), so I popped in my King's X mp3 disc in my car stereo (you have to get a cd player for your car that plays mp3s, cuz you can put 12+ albums on one disc. That's 144 albums in a 12-disc cd visor -- a library of music right in your car!) and started toggling through the albums. I got to Ear Candy and didn't think it was on there, but some of the songs sounded good ... and then the song "Fathers" came on. 'That's funny,' I thought, it has a similar melody to the song I'm wanting to hear -- "Every One Of Us," or so I thought the title was. I listened to the other songs on that kind of forgotten album. They really stand up to the test of time.
On to chapter 10 of a book I'm sure the CS Lewis fans in King's X have read...
Our main character overhears another conversation between Ghost and Spirit. The Ghost this time is an old wife who refuses to meet this man. Turns out the man used to be her husband. She had forgiven him, but didn't want to meet him. She explained about all that she tried to get him to be on earth. What she did was describe how she was a controlling nag that pestered him and demanded of him all the time for his whole life. He eventually had a nervous breakdown. It was funny to hear her argument to the Spirit, thinking everyone would see things her way, but it was obvious that she was a control freak. She finally said she'd meet him if should do more things to him. When the Spirit said she'd consult him, she refused, saying it was a bad idea to ask him. She wouldn't hear of it. When the Spirit refused to give up the husband, the Ghost snapped and was no more.
That's quite odd. I wonder what happened to her? Maybe she used up her chance in this Pergatory-type place and was instantly banished to Hell?
hmmm...?!
