Who is to say if it's static or dynamic?

I think I've been sitting here at my desk zoned out for ages. I've got Tomorrow Never Knows on repeat with my headphones on. I'm alternating between too hot for this sweater and too cold (damn my window).

I just realized I had a dream last night where I was arguing with someone about Tomorrow Never Knows. They were saying it's just the same thing over and over (C drones through the whole song) and I was arguing about how there's the tape loops flying in, the reverse guitar solo, and the whole john-lennon-through-a-leslie thing in the second verse.

I wish I'd known this song when I was 15 and could've listened to it lying supine on the floor of my room in my parents' house. Maybe I'm just romanticizing it, but there's something about being on the floor next to my dad's old speakers (they said Utah on them!) and listening to music louder than I should have.

Tomorrow Never Knows makes me feel like I could be the last person alive, kindof the way that Pyramid Song makes me feel, but not in a bad-post-apocalyptic way. It's empowering, like I could run straight through a brick wall unscathed.
