Back story: If you check out the bottom picture of the current newsletter, you'll see a U.F.O. in the upper left corner above a guy named Dave, who's sitting on top of a huge boulder.. (This much has already been mentioned by others in the thread entitled "alien abduction?")

A OR ET TESTS ON D
Army or Extra Terrestrial Tests ON Dave?

http://www.toolband.com/news/

"Walking on the remains of a tile floor, I began thinking about the strange things Bill Manspeaker had told me... about those who still camped out here at night, attracted by Giant Rock's history... by its mystique, some probably even looking for UFOs. The lonely California badlands... What a perfect place, I thought, for someone to find human guinea pigs, the unwitting victims of Uncle Sam's black ops and MILABS (military abductions), especially in the "safety zones", an altogether different animal from the Klaatu-like space brothers (?) with their perfect teeth."
-BMB, current newsletter

Did the military abduct Dave? Pretending to be aliens...like that x-files episode? That seems to be what Blair is getting at, but you can never really tell with him ...

-----------------------------------------------

The native tribes that once occupied the region believed that the stone in the photo was sacred. No one was aloud to inscibe any sort of message on it's surface (leave it to Tool to defile what some consider sacred; see photo).

Native myth states that when Mother nature causes "Great Stone" to split, we will enter a new era. Apparently a bunch of fuckin' hippies, rather than Mother Earth, were responsible for the splitting of the stone. They lit a bonfire directly beneath one of the overhanging pieces back in february 2000 and let it burn for so long that structural damage occured within the stone, causing it two split in two.
(Since I'm accused of being a dirty eco-hippie by many, I feel that I should appologize for the stupidity of the average neo-fashion-hippy. Real hippies don't even identify with the label anymore).

I think the moral of all this is... 'If hippies are attracted to it, stay away!' Or was it a good experience? He seems to recall the experience fondly in the song, at least at times.... hmmmm.

Prime example of a bunch of dropout and misfits getting screwed over by what they thought was great fun:

Just before a show back in the late eighties, the Grateful Dead (jerry garCIA) decided to change the location of a show at the last moment. They packed thousands of whacked out fans into a huge hall in a Masonic temple that had no air conditioning and a burnt out ventilation system. My freind Freeman ((The Freeman Perspective, Austin Public Access, tues @ 8pm)) tells me he and a few others had to save the lives of several fans who were hyperventalating and could not make it to the exit for a breath of fresh air. (Freemans father was a 33rd degree Mason who chased flying saucers for the govt, by the way. )

Freeman has the distinction of having announced, on television, that Tool is an Illuminati front who brainwashes their fans. I have tried to inform him that this is not so....but then, sometimes i'm not even sure....

Key 23: 23 minutes with Freeman: an iterview by the guys who brought you GENERATION HEX. (Disinformation Ltd.):

I heard this interview back in October. I was all jacked up on majik and travel, and I had set out on the web intending to scry out a new home town. I heard the first two minutes of this interview and new where I was headed. Here I am in Austin, 6 months later, living with one of the guys who let Freeman crash on his couch when he first got here. Speaking of synchronicity...

I made this exact same post about 3 weeks ago, but I thought it might be related to "Right in Two". Though not with the acronym. Mine was close but no cigar. I like this one though =)... apparently maybe there is a connection.

I've stood right ewhere they are many a time by the way. Had some very profound experiences there, and walked on the remains of the tile floor...

Yeah, the 'Right in Two' connection struck me as well. Since I've only heard Rosetta Stoned (like ten thousand times) and Vicarious ('bout 5 times), I can't comment on it.

Maynard is really into Native American mythology and spirituality. (Revolver interview. Don't ask me why I remember.) He probably knows about the myths surrounding Great Stone.
