“Can you read it?”
“No. I know a bit of Teeline; I never learned Pitman, though.”

Rooftop
Part way into the third DVD you can sense how intensely the Beatles have their feet to the fire. But, Paul pulls it together, so diplomatically:
The movie’s director, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, says, “Tomorrow, with the nine cameras, if we do tomorrow, there is a kind of, ‘Something will happen’.”
Paul replies, “No, it’s the best bit of us, always has been and always will be. It’s when we’ve got … when we’re backs-against-the-wall and we’ve been rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing.”
Paul then glances over at John, “And he knows it’s a take on the dub. And he does it great.”

The world is a post-apocalyptic ecocide desert wasteland caused by societal collapse and warfare, where petrol and water are scarce resources.
Listen to preachers, listen to fools; watch them make their own rules. One is conditioned to rule & control. Media sells. You live the role.

Events of the waking world, on the other hand, are forced. It falls to us to weigh & sort & order these events.
We assemble them into the story which is us.

Exploration
In the West proper there are no limits. The world goes on indefinitely. The horizon is not seen as the end of a scene. It carries you on beyond itself into farther and farther spaces.

Partnership
If the destination is forevermore, then the journey there requires a worldview where enjoyment is only one of many heavenly experiences. The hellish ones of course get worse & worse.
