FLASHBACK november 1968

"paul is a dead man...miss him, miss him, miss him..."
i'm 3 years old so no. i do not remember when the beatles released "i'm so tired". but as i got older, i do remember hearing about the subliminal messages in the white album. and, if you play this song backwards, on a record player (does anyone remember what that is?), you do, in fact, hear the words "paul is a dead man...". he's not. he's alive and well. and 70.
FLASH FORWARD october 1986
kevin nealon appears on saturday night live as "mr. subliminal". an example of his editorial "...the boy admitted to spray painting cars but he's only eighteen and young people often do stupid and impulsive things they later regret (Shannen Doherty). I happen to think [pause] that everyone's entitled to one mistake (Euro Disney). And I'm not saying there aren't [pause] those who I'd love to see get a good flogging (Urkel), it's just that [pause] I'm afraid we've become so insensitive that we've learned to accept the idea of a man's beating in public (Pee Wee Herman)."




september is subliminal communications month. celebrate the beauty of mixed messages. think about what you are expressing without saying a word. better yet, think about what people are saying to you without even opening their mouths.
