Summary: Huxley, not Gurdjieff, but only by accident
In a recent article, Julian.West@mac.dartmouth.edu, says/asks: > > Listening to _Heads_We're_Dancing_ several times a day does funny > things to my minds, so maybe I just imagined this, but didn't someone > yesterday link the words "Suspended in Gaffa" to the writings of > Gurdjieff in an offhand and somewhat suspicious manner? > ..... .... > Still, I'd appreciate a clarification from whomever dropped that > particular name. I think you're thinking of my reference last week about my long-ago relating the title "Suspended in Gaffa" (not the lyrics) with Aldous Huxley's book "Eyeless in Gaza". No relationship implied other than the symmetry of the two, which was the cause of my initial confused (and long-abandoned) belief that there might be a connection. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Williams ...!cs.utexas.edu!halley!steve -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
