Whoa Buddy! I wasn't criticising you, i was just noting the similarity to
his ideas, i guess i forgot to add a smiley. Sorry to get you all worked up.
And when i said dumbing it down, i meant that it was comprehensible,
contratry to DJ Spooky's dense language that's miles above my head.

Yeah, but the liner notes of the Necropolis album, he prints an excerpt of
someone's book (Hey, i sound like the stupid one now), the book that he
took "that subliminal kid" from.
An excerpt of that excerpt:
"The Subliminal Kid moved in and took over bars, cafes, and jukeboxes...
installed radio transmitters and microphones...so that the music and talk
in one could be heard in all..."

Compare to what you (Sam Frank) wrote:
