"Silence" refers to submission. He reveals how people so foolishly follow rulers without actually knowing a ruler's true intentions and background. "People hearing without listening" reveals a people's willingness to take heed to the commands spoken by a leader without fully realizing the consequences of this obedience. Simon, or whomever is having this dream, tries to warn these conformists in the lines that read "'Fools' said I, "You do not know/ Silence like a cancer grows/ Hear my words that I might teach you,/ Take my arms that I might reach you."" But his warning is swallowed in the abyss of submission: "But my words like silent raindrops fell,/And echoed/In the wells of silence." This song may refer to a particular nation or people, but most likely it refers to people in general who submit themselves too freely. The song continues to describe the people's capitulation in several lines, most notably in the words, "And the people bowed and prayed/To the neon god they made." The song's meaning is for the listener to decide and there are many different ideas; however, I personally have always believed that it pertains to a people's readiness to support a leader without fully realizing the possible outcomes

[...]One of the most impressive manifestations of protest by Paul Simon on the tenth anniversary of 9II, listen closely to the lyrics.QuotePaul Simon had been told to play "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" at the Ground Zero tenth anniversary event. Without telling anybody what was coming, he played a 9/11 truth protest song instead. The "people talking without listening" didn't get it. The awakened people did. This is one of the most profound moments of musical protest ever recorded.You are not allowed to view links.

These pictures tell it all. Michael is on the burning money and magazine. And Twin Towers are burning as well. They were going to take him down with the towers. Snake Bush is next to them. And there's a gavel. Justice is going to be served?!?

Register or LoginI can't believe my own eyes, right now on the main Russian channel "First channel" in the news they were talking about the conspiracy behind 9/11!!! afraid/ First they were telling the "official" story and i was like, yeah here we go again terrorists, Osama Bin Laden blah blah blah. But then they started talking about the powerful "group of people" (they didn't mention the name) who might be behind it. They mentioned all the main things which do not go with the official story, how US federal agencies and military failed to protect their own people, even though they knew about the danger. If the American government did not plan this attack on it's own people, they sure failed to stop these air plains, even though they had more then enough time to do so. They also said (according to my memory) "HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL SOON REALIZE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON THAT TRAGIC DAY AND IT WON'T BE TOO LATE. BECAUSE THE DESTRUCTIVE MECHANISM WHICH WAS PUT IN MOTION ON THAT DAY STILL IS IN IT'S FULL POWER."I've seen some late night documentaries about 9/11 on this channel, but talk about conspiracy openly like that on the NEWS, NEVER! Conspiracy theorists about 9/11 were mentioned in the coverage here in Australia as well. They showed protesters holding placards demanding the truth to be told. Perhaps because so many people now are beginning to question, the news stations were forced to address this. Although not much air time was given, they didn't make them out to be lunatics or insane people. Just everyday people who are very very upset.

Good catch. /bravo/ I agree...hadn't seen this before either. Gosh...there's SO much out there just waiting to be discovered...feels like Mike's left us 'messages' everywhere. The things 'burning' on the cover bring my mind to MJ being adamant about having a real jacket 'burning' on stage...and saying "Let it burn and lights out". Not sure what it all means exactly...but there's definitely something symbollic about 'burning' to Mike. The 'burning' money....isn't that the same 'money' that TS included in one of his posts? Maybe he was gently guiding us/hinting at taking another look at the cover. With L.O.V.E. always.
