Moving from the clown to the jester will mean moving from similar to same, from alike to identical, from comparable to analogous. Though applied differently, the colours used on one can be used on another, and a couple of changes of costume will rapidly transform the jester into a clown and the clown into a jester. Strictly speaking, they almost duplicate each other as regards clothes and function, the only difference between them, from a social point of view, is that clowns do not usually visit the palaces of kings. |

I can't believe I forgot Neil Young "Out on the Weekend" from Harvest. That would probably knock off "Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?", but I'll stick to my original list. I don't want to keep revising it like Rob (John Cusack) did in one of the outtakes from High Fidelity.

I think Frank Black and David Bowie are the best ones for choosing 1st song on their albums. Consider these:
Space Oddity
Width Of A Circle
Changes
Five Years
Station To Station
Speed Of Life (how could I forget that one in my top 5?)
It's No Game
and
Bone Machine
Debaser
Cecilia Ann
Trompe Le Monde
Los Angeles
Pong/Thalassocracy (how come nobody mentioned this?)
The Marsist
All My Ghosts
Bad Harmony
Nadine

I used to write rock critics in my school's newspaper, and I wrote a paper about Idiology, saying it was one of the smartest records ever etc. I am pretty sure noone from my school listened to it, though.
