Songs mean not. They are.

Go down to the churchyard, Kierkegaard ....

OK Schliermacher...

Yay! My copy of "this book needs no title" has shipped!

[dances happy philosopher dance]

Sorry? If you explain i can be happy too!

Raymond Smullyan ... you remember "an epistemological nightmare", with the psychologist and the man who stated, incorrectly, that he believed a book was red? The same guy wrote a nhumber of similar articles and published them in a book called "This book needs no title". I'm also waiting for my copy of Satie's unfinished "memoirs of an amnesiac".

I like it...

He turns out to have had quite a sense of humour ....

Satie! Oh yes! Out of all of les Six, Satie is the one I would have picked out. He took the p*ss regularly!

Indeed. Can you get much better than a one man cult?

What do you mean? The cult of Satie followers? In which case there is more than one. Les Six? There was six. And they all took the p*ss.

I thought the Metropolitan Church of Art of Jesus Christ Saviour was, basically, Satie?

Uh... well, I've never heard of it, if that's what you mean...

Nor had anyone else. Satie founded it and was the only person ever to join it, as well. It was the very essence of a cult, except without the herd of followers pandering to the needs of the demented leader.

I should start a cult. Could be a laugh.

I could be your solitary follower if you wish...

Hmm ... personally I wouldn' recommend it.

No, I don't have the personality for a demagogue, do I?

demagogue? Worship of daemons??

Never!

I thought a demagogue was someone who inspired that?

In any case, neither way.

Let's just not do that, shall we?

Well, hey, it was you offering to join my cult, right?

A cult....<?>
