Once that suspicion occurred to me, it was only a few minutes before Heat in the Jungle appeared on the doodling pad. It brought a whole new level of love for the song, which I already loved so much. 18 years later, we're very happily married.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643793728756988561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-71599728863812111102007-04-11T17:48:00.000-05:002007-04-11T17:48:00.000-05:00I guess I was quite far off when I thought 'Thela ...I guess I was quite far off when I thought 'Thela Hun Ginjeet' was based around some kind of Japanese Action-Manga Cartoon then!Youtube Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618009322477509959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-11085667188021602742007-04-10T18:27:00.000-05:002007-04-10T18:27:00.000-05:00"On The Road" definition of "It" best describes wh..."On The Road" definition of "It" best describes what Discipline means to me. I once started an exchange-thing at work whereby a large group of us exchanged our five most beloved albums. Discipline, my #1, made quite an impact on many a new listener; I in turn got introduced to Tom Waits. Anyways, I was previously aware of the Thela anagram but was not aware of how genuine the dialog was.<BR/><BR/>A million thanks to Adrian for his frequent elephantblog entries.<BR/><BR/>-john k.keelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504870134603325877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-80751783711359129472007-04-09T00:29:00.000-05:002007-04-09T00:29:00.000-05:00HAH!nice to hear the true story of Thela Hun Ginje...HAH!<BR/>nice to hear the true story of Thela Hun Ginjeet!<BR/>I always naively assumed that the title was some African dialect for 'It's a Dangerous Place', because of the way it was emphasized in the audio verite bits.Chardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560448350154225109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-36671825844753334812007-04-07T10:49:00.000-05:002007-04-07T10:49:00.000-05:00I heard or read somewhere that 'it' was a painting...I heard or read somewhere that 'it' was a painting by Adrian's first wife, and that the lyrics were taken from her description (over the phone?) of 'it'...morningstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500414390022953377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-67493706783505533382007-04-07T10:45:00.000-05:002007-04-07T10:45:00.000-05:00I don't think guitar fits.Try this:I would carry (...I don't think guitar fits.<BR/><BR/>Try this:<BR/>I would carry (my guitar) around with me for days and days<BR/><BR/>playing little games like not looking at (my guitar) for a whole day<BR/><BR/>and then looking at (my guitar) to see if I still liked (my guitar)<BR/><BR/>In my logic (probably thinking too much) "It" would have to be something small enough to fit into your pocket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-25074160735145694652007-04-07T10:10:00.000-05:002007-04-07T10:10:00.000-05:00isn't the "it" your guitar?isn't the "it" your guitar?Robert Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509423480363016524noreply@blogger.com
