I Keep Thinking About The Point A Guy Said About The Song “Imagine” And It’s Enduring Popularity

I keep thinking about the point a guy said about the song “Imagine” and it’s enduring popularity in a BBC doc: “It tells me: People say they want world peace. People say they want income equality. But the most they will ever do is buy a cheap £1 tape cassette song about it. John Lennon had a room in his house just to keep all his fur coats in. No one ever mentions that.”

Elvis Costello: “Wasn’t it a millionaire who said imagine no possessions?”

There’s one (1) think in Disney’s Mulan that irks me.  The jaw line.  Mulan’s jaw line is drawn differently when she’s acting as Ping. No kidding: this is her “regular, Fa Mulan” face. In this version her jaw is even highlighted by the makeup. Look how round is it.

image

and this is her Ping jaw. Square. Totally square.

WHY?????  Isn’t consistency in the character base shapes like, an important thing??

Not to mention how she immediately regains her long lashes as soon as she is exposed. With her round jaw obviously.

My Translation of Nikola Tesla’s Poem

By J. J. Jones

My Translation Of Nikola Tesla’s Poem

“Fragments of Olympian Gossip.” By Nikola Tesla

While listening on my cosmic phone (Nikola Tesla listening to his receiving device in his laboratory)

I caught words from the Olympus blown. (He’s eavesdropping on heaven, or Olympus, where the Gods of science live)

A newcomer was shown around; (A well-known scientist must have passed away on earth and is being shown around heaven)

That much I could guess, aided by sound. (From what Tesla could hear through his device)

“There’s Archimedes with his lever.” (The mysterious chaperone points out Archimedes)

“Still busy on problems as ever.” (Who even in the afterlife is still working on his mathematical problems) 

“Says: matter and force are transmutable.” (Archimedes thought matter and force can be changed from one nature to another)

“And wrong the laws you thought immutable.” (The newcomer must have thought force and matter were unalterable)

“Below, on Earth, they work at full blast.” (Earth is busy as always)

“And news are coming in thick and fast.” (News from earth to heaven)

“The latest tells of a cosmic gun.” (Around the time this poem was conducted Guglielmo Marconi was frightening the public with a “ray-gun” for war)

“To be pelted is very poor fun.” (violence is immoral)

“We are wary with so much at stake,” (Heaven is wary of mankind)

“Those beggars are a pest—no mistake.” (The attention seekers of science are becoming nuisances)

“Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown.” (The newcomer finally speaks to his chaperone, who we now learn is Isaac Newton)

“And turned your great science upside down.” (Modern science is ruining Newtonian physics)

“Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name,” (Albert Einstein)

“Puts on your high teaching all the blame.” (Einstein’s theories oppose Newtonian physics)

“Says: matter and force are transmutable.” (Einstein, like Archimedes, thought force and matter is interchangeable. Issac Newton believed matter and force are unalterable)

“And wrong the laws you thought immutable.” (Einstein’s physics suggest that Newtonian physics are false)

“I am much too ignorant, my son,” (Issac Newton speaking again)

“For grasping schemes so finely spun.” (Referring to Einstein’s metaphysics)

“My followers are of stronger mind” (Those scientists who still follow Newtonian physics and cause and effect)

“And I am content to stay behind,” (He’ll stick with his own theories and let science go in err)

“Perhaps I failed, but I did my best,”

“These masters of mine may do the rest.” (Nikola Tesla)

“Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup.” (We now learn that the newcomer is Lord Kelvin. He was a great scientist and a good friend of Tesla’s who had passed away in 1907.)

“When is your friend Tesla coming up?” (Newton asking Kelvin when Tesla will join them in Olympus)

“Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late, (Tesla was never on time)

"It would be useless to remonstrate.” (And it’s pointless to try and change it)

Then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet—(End of conversation between Kelvin and Newton)

I knock and—the bedlam of the street. (Tesla departs from his dream and his laboratory into the busy streets of New York City)

(Poem written by Nikola Tesla in the 1920s to his friend George Sylvester Viereck.)
