quantumcupcakesI came home from work this evening to find Jack and Lucy watching War Of The Worlds. I'm all for a good science-fiction movie, I do enjoy stories of alien invasions and I've been half wanting to watch the film for many years. I'm just not sure I can sit through several hours of Tom Cruise. So instead I'm hiding in my office and listening to Jeff Wayne's musical version.
On the Tom Cruise note, I used to be a fan, back in the late 80s/early 90s. I have many fond memories of watching the likes of Cocktail, Top Guns, Days Of Thunder, A Few Good Men. Jack loves his Mission Impossible movies. But that was before the utter craziness of his Scientology ways. Have you ever actually read about this cult? Jesus, the fuck...? People believe this shit? I mean, the idea of reincarnation is fine, and the whole working towards spiritual and educational enlightenment is fair enough. But Xenu? The galatic tyrant who apparently stacked up billions of frozen bodies and then blew them up with H-bombs, for reasons known only to His Galatic Mightyness? And, by the way, it's the souls of those dead shmucks sticking to our bodies that causes mental disorders and diseases and shit. Yeah, who knew? Weird fucking shit, I'm telling you
But I digress. The War of the Worlds. So anyway, It's on Spotify and I'm trying to recall if I've ever listened to it properly before. I don't think I have, not in it's entirety. It's... interesting, certainly. Very prog-rock. And I do love the orchestral bits. Dun-dun-DUN! Most of the songs are fairly average, although I've always liked Forever Autumn. Never actually knew it was from this.

He told us once that he was "sick" and his parents took him to a "doctor" who used headphones and sound to get "bad bugs" out of his brain. And he said that all with complete sincerity. Frightening.
