jaySun, Dec 13, 2009 no one could've said it better. on a side note, the first thing i noticed is that he's got an ocelot for a pet! i wiki'd to check and of course he's mentioned:
"Salvador Dalí frequently traveled with his pet ocelot, even bringing it aboard the luxury ocean liner, SS France."
second tangent...i've been an admirer of dali since i got into the band dredg (around 2002) when they released a concept album, "el cielo," inspired by dali's "dream caused by the flight of a bumblebee around a pomegranate one second before awakening." it's largely about the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, which is when the brain awakens from an REM state, but the body paralysis persists. fully conscious, but unable to move.
in the liner notes of "el cielo," dredg printed letters sent to them by people suffering from sleep paralysis, and several songs on the album include lyrics taken directly from the letters. here's a good summary of the thought behind the album.
thanks for the dali reminder, i've been meaning to learn more about him.
