OFFICIAL RECORDING SEESIONS OF ZOLAR - X

The band did 3 recording sessions; 1 '74 2 song demo

2 '76 ep - THE PLUTONIAN ELF SAGA, ( usually eps can have anywhere from 3 to 5 songs)

3 '80 reunion - they broke up sometime when punk came along however they did reunite in '80 and recorded a 'best of' compilation.... 4 Ygarr put out a rough looking LP named 'TIMELESS' in 1982 without the consent of the other band members and is basically a bootleg. It uses old Zolar X recordings as well as Ygarr's then current solo material.

this quote was found on the liner notes;

May the lyrics on this album contribute to the cognizance of man's inner self-realization.

WELL as of june 28th we received a bootleg cassette of ZOLAR X, with a different running order and quite a few different songs, take a look -

here is our track listing of the bootleg we recieved, contains some of the songs above , perhaps there is some solo Ygarr music too :), for now we'll say it's a mix of glam rock, punk, and some songs are prog rock along the lines of HAWKWIND and PINK FLOYD.......# 9 'SPACE AGE LOVE' sounds a lot like SLAUGHTER and the DOGS ' punk classic 'CRANKED REALLY HIGH'.......

1 'RECITATION' 2 ' TIMELESS' 3 ' SCIENCE' 4 ?

5 ' TEST TUBE BABIES' 6 'ROCKET ROLL' 7 ?

8 'RECITATION' 2 9 'SPACE AGE LOVE' 10 'ENERGIZE ME'

11 ? 12 ? 13 ?

ZOLAR X

ZOLAR X

1 'RECITATIONS

this is a spoken word ?? intro to the band, the words are from a language used by aliens mixed with synths popping..........., we wrote down a few of what was said; 'BANG UTAURUS.......CANIMA UBRAITRAUMA,............METROPOLIS,...............YU CAMA UTAH, YARB......CAMATA HEBUT.............'............u get the idea, 'RECITATIONS 2', is more of the same...........at times it sounds like the tape was played backwards to get the effect, but we've been told the members were really from a distant galaxy so this really is an alien language they are speaking :)

2 ' TIMELESS '

.........begins with electric guitar notes, synths roll, has a SWEET glam sound with 'sci fi' atmosphere........some lyrics; ' I WAS CAUGHT FOR TIME SO I DID PRISON', and 'WHAT GOES ON ON Y'ALL'..........and ' TIME WOULD NEVER WAIT FOR', and 'LIFE IS SHORT AND TIME TAKES IT AWAY', ...the chorus is sung throughout the song ' OH, I WANNA BE TIMELESS'.....later......'7 SHIPS THRU TIMELESS SEA, NEVER GROW OLD LIVE FOR ETERNITY.....

3 'SCIENCE'

DEVO-like punk sound only NASTIER......... great musicianship..............' SCIENCE, (?), SCIENCE, WELL WE'VE BEEN DOIN' VERY WELL,WERE METRO GIANTS, WE'VE GOT MURDER IN OUR HEARTS, WE'VE GOT MURDER IN OUR HEADS', 'AND LEAVE OUR SHADOW EVERYWHERE'.........

4 ' ? '

well this one has a ? mark instead of a song title because we nor our friend who sent in the bootleg knew what the title is, as goes for a few others here, but this is a GOOD one that sounds a whole lot like the LAST ( see page 7 ), they were a power-pop l.a. punk band who combined 60s pysch with 70s power-pop, melodic to say the least, and thats how this # from ZOLAR X sounds.........drums roll, elec. guitar plays anthemic rock thru a thick hazy sound.....some lyrics here are hard to decipher ; ANYWHERE' IT'S SO HARD TO PLAY'.......and 'BUT TELL ME WHY THE WORLD'....., and 'IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY SOME PEOPLE DOUBT AND SOME PEOPLE RULE'.....,....in comes a cool organ solo, then....... 'ANYWHERE AND WE WANT YOUR PRAYERS, TELL ME WHAT'.........( maybe one of u knows the title ? )

5 ' TEST TUBE BABIES'

more KINKS like punk than anything else......with some screeching guitar and GOOD vocals.....overall sound has a 3-D effect,.......'IT WAS A TEST TUBE BABY GIRL, MADE FROM THE MODERN WORLD', and 'ELECTROMAGNETIC CLOUDS'......later in the song the phrase 'SHE WAS A VERY DIRTY GIRL', is repeated over and over....

6 'ROCKET ROLL'

.....sci-fi punk at it's finest, similiar to DEVO,with SPARKS/JET like vocals, but ZOLAR X had an original sound one can discern after repeated listens......here the guitar Charges forth into a 3-D burst......'LOOK ME UP, ROCKET ROLL, FILL ME UP ROCKET ROLL, RIDE ME SO ROCKET ROLL,....GO-GO-GO-GO ROCKET-ROLL-ROLL-ROLL-ROLL.......SHOW, SHOW, SHOW IT TO, SHOW ME ROCKET ROLL'.....later ' THE LUCKY STARS, YOUR STILL SEARCHING MARS, THERE IS MUCH BEYOND,..... EARTH MUST GO ON !.....the guitar then races against the other instruments.........

well another ? mark is here because we are not sure of the title however we muct say this one is very different fro the rest, it's has a more spacy HAWKWIND/PINK FLOYD-type sound leaning towards prog rock......and its a long song.....static electricty begins, guitars make niose.....(some of the lyrics are hard to decipher here, so here's some of what we heard).....'THOUGHT I'D RIDE OVER JORDAN', and 'STARTED OUT IN THE REAL KEY, WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS FOR FREE, LIKE ANY TEST'........later in a more spacey and slower section; 'DEAD CHILDREN PLAY', and WHEN U WANNA SEE TOMMORROW.......................LIGHTS SHINE FROM YOUR ETERNITY'.......after several minutes the drums and synths play smoothly.......then the singer speaks ' AND YOUR PASSIN' THRU THE DOORWAY TO THE INSIDE, EARTH IS ON THE OUTSIDE..................UNIVERSAL NAMES MIND GAMES.....( fades)

MORE REVIEWS FROM THIS LP TO COME SOON, here's more info....

we were lucky to catch about 3 songs of the 13 minutes that the KXLU fm station 88.9 ( l.a.) played of ZOLAR - X, on april 15th '03, aside from 'ROCKET ROLL' we heard these 2;

'?' - not sure of the title, perhaps 'tommorrow's sunrise'......anyways this is DEVO-type synth sound over pre-punk guitars and bass hitting hard (selected lyrics)'SUPERSONIC', and 'GO, GO, GO', and 'WE CAN LET U ON A (?)'............and 'I'LL BRING U HOME TONIGHT BEFORE YOUR PARENTS QUIZ'.......( ends with sci-fi synths popping).........perhaps the sound could be compared to SLAUGHTER and the DOGS '77 punk masterpiece 'CRANKED REALLY HIGH', but with synths everywhere.....( this one is 'SPACE AGE LOVE' )

3 'JET *'

'JET * 19', and 'SPACEBALL MACHINE' were some of the lyrics uttered in this glam rocker with NIOSY guitars....sounds a lot like the FAST ( see page 6 and 7) again with SPARKS-like vocals....

for more info see the one and only ZOLAR-X site, accessible thru our links page....

PANDORA cd cover

PANDORA

once upon a time from cleveland there was a hard rock band called GRANICUS who had one lp in '73, their drummer Joe Battaglia was assigned to record some demos for a N.Y. CITY band called PANDORA, they had a RARE 3 song single which came out on flexi discs to some music fans, and record companies in '74, the previously UNRELEASED lp of demos was recorded in the summer of '74 in ohio.........and was finally released in he late 90s....

and were kept on tape for many years until '97 when he decided to release them on cd cause they are really good STOOGES,N.Y. DOLLS, H.M. KIDS, SILVERHEAD-type 70's glam trash..... allthough Battaglia could not even remember the members names of PANDORA, neither could anyone else....here is more info on this band...

THIS IS THE SITE WHERE U CAN ORDER A CD, PLEASE SEND YOUR MONEY TO ARF ARF RECORDS

http://www.arfarfrecords.com/

also a few of us are rally interested in knowing who the members are, a few people in the world know, perhaps witgh this detailed review full of lyrics somone may know....

Erik Lindgren's Arf! Arf! Records is known for gathering the most obscure unreleased vintage tapes for historical purposes. (They're also known to have a giggle now and again; a couple of the label's supposedly vintage unreleased tapes are at least suspected to be by modern-day groups recording in note-perfect re-creations of period styles.) Though most of the label's vintage tapes are from '60s-era New England bands, given Lindgren's proximity and tastes, the 1997 release Space Amazon is actually a bunch of circa-1974 recordings by Pandora, a Cleveland, OH, band.

The tapes were produced by Joe Battaglia, drummer for Cleveland metallurgists Granicus, and only the first two, the thumping "Space Amazon" and "Daze of Madness," were ever released, and even then only on a flexi-disc given away by a local magazine. The glammy songs have a heavy, proto-punk edge, as if the group were heavily into the Stooges and the first New York Dolls album, and the theatrical vocals and self-consciously "decadent" lyrics suggest a strong Bowie/T. Rex fixation as well. Fun stuff, no matter when it was recorded. ? Stewart Mason

a track listing

1. Space Amazon - 8:47 2. Daze of Madness - 4:00 3. Country Boy (Pandora) - 6:39 4. Only Seventeen - 4:20 5. Crack Your Skull ( - 4:13

6. Hot Rocker - 6:29 7. You're My Woman - 5:38 8. King Queen - 6:16 9. Don't Pity Me - 7:38 10. Leather Boys - 5:24

well here is our promo ( a rough draft) for ERIK LINDGREN's 'ARF ARF' records, actually they sell mostly 60's garage and pysch, so were doin' the promo right here at the 70's invasion so perhaps we can boost sales for them, please send your money to ARF ARF records and buy the Pandora cd, if u love 70's glam rock and trash, you'll flip for this band as they sound as if they were influenced by many big glam rock band of the 70's, and check out their other selections also, they have some killer cds for sale....

'SPACE AMAZON'

WOW ! this is one hell of a song, and allthough unfashionably long, it's all the better that it is almost 9 minutes long , combining the hard glam sound of SWEET, STOOGES, and BOWIE imagery circa ZIGGY STARDUST, this song definetely will captivate your imagination, later in the song the lyrics and sound very similiar to PATTI SMITH's 'GLORIA' from '75, afterall PANDORA were from n.y. so was the PATTI SMITH group, more on that part later, let's take a look at selected lyrics from this monster of a song ; 'YOUR THE SULTAN LADY OF THE NIGHT, LIKE A VENUS FLY TRAP YOU HOLD YOUR BITE, YOUR THE HERO OF FLASH AND CONQUERED TASTE, BUT TO HOLD YOUR BOND IS AN AQUIRED TASTE, THERE's NO DOUBT YOUR A MORTAL MAN, BUT U TOWER ABOVE YOUR ROCKIN' BAND', and 'WHAT CAN U DO, BUT YOUR HUMAN BEST', and THERE WAS NO NEED TO RUN YOUR CIRCUIT COLD'

'HAIL TO THE MASTER MYTH, BUT WILL THERE BE HRS OF CONFESSION TO THESE MORTAL MINDS' and 'YOUR A SPACE AMAZON, WERE A RESTLESS LOT, BUT YOUR ALL WE'VE GOT, U HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH LOVE AND HATRED, AND AS THEY MERGE WE WATCH YOUR DIXIEDANCE' and

( this next part is spoken) 'THESE SOULS STRUNG UP ON YOUR ROYAL THUMBS LIKE SOME PUPPETS IN A FAG SHOW',( back to screaming) 'BAITING THE CROWD WITH COME HITHER, SPACE GOD IN THE SKY, IT'S THEIR WITHIN YOUR MINDS EYE' !, .........after several minutes of heavy bass and guitars really hammering this number down with fanatastic lyrics comes a spoken word part, here is an excert ; 'do u pledge undyling loyalty to the point of fever , ( the singer changes from spoken word to hard screaming here) 'u stand there naked and oblivious in your eden garden' ( screams)'U THERE IN SPACE, U THERE IN SPACE, U THERE IN SPACE, SPACE AMAZON,SPACE AMAZON, SPACE AMAZON, SPACE AMAZON, SPACE AMAZON, SPACE AMAZON', OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH NO I NEED U, I NEED U ! OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO,

.........the singer then yells 'OHH' about 20 more times while the band speeds up to 90 miles an hour.........yes all very intense, but we would like to get back to the PATTI SMITH reference, as she sings in 'gloria' 'a place called space' with hard guitars and bass, here the singer for PANDORA sings 'u there in space, u there in space'.........it sounds similiar this part, our point is this, many people are trying to find out the names of these guys but no one knows who they were not even the drummer in GRANICUS can remember, we will make an assumption here that perhaps they saw the PATTI SMITH band playing sometime in '74 and were influenced, or maybe it was the other way around,......perhaps one of the members of PANDORA will see the lyrics here and say 'HEY I WAS IN THAT BAND' parhaps U yourself were in that band..ok back to the reviews.......

'DAZE of MADNESS'

this one begins with the singer doin' a DAVID JOHANSEN imitation then progresses into SILVERHEAD- ALICE COOPER--type rock......' i've seen every crystalyzed mulitcoloured craze', and 'daze of madness on the road, he's been used and abused, but he's been playing for so long' and 'DAZE OF CONQUEST, U CAN'T DIGEST THE DIRT', good guitars, but this song is a somewhat calmer song than the masterpiece before and the one after it.....

'COUNTRY BOY'

EXCELLENT SONG, one of the best on this disc.......begins playing a melodic LED ZEPPELIN country style rock' OH COUNTRY BOY, WHERE HAVE U BEEN, WHO HAVE U SEEN, WHAT HAVE U DONE'AND 'WHERE BLACKFACE DON'T SEEM TO FIT, WITH THE UNDERDOG SCOIAL BIT'..... and 'SHAKER BAKER MAN KIDNAP JESUS WHILE U CAN, BUT HE's NO MATCH FOR U WITH YOUR SNAKESKIN PURSE AND YOUR HIGH HEELED SHOE'........then the tempo changes halfway from ZEPPELIN style to fast STONES-STOOGES rock, the whole band kicks in hard while the singer sings/screams ' KIDNAP THE CHRISTIANS AND THE MINISTER', he continues to sing about christians and similiar subject matter, this one could have been a single......OUTTASITE !

'ONLY 17

rock bottom bass, SILVERHEAD-ALICE COOPER-type rock, 'she's only 17, only 17', not only does it sound influeced by these 2 bands, but as many people know COOPER had a big hit with '18' in '71, and on SILVERHEAD's 2nd was titled '16 and savaged' ( note the 1st SLIVERHEAD lp is great, the 2nd one blows, with only 2 good songs)

'CRACK YOUR SKULL'

GREAT one ! this one comes on fast like the DOLLS, drums pound away, the drummer thinks he's KEITH MOON, defiant lyrics 'I DON'T CARE WHAT U SAY OR WHAT U DO, IF U DON'T WATCH OUT THE WORSE WILL COME TRUE'and 'CRACK YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL, OH GOD WHO CAN U CALL' ? and 'FANTASTIC LAZER THAT GLOWS IN THE DARK, MAKES U WISH U WERE MORE THAN A SPARK'...........

'HOT ROCKER'

allthough this one reminds us of ALAN MERRILL's music somewhat ( ARROWS, VODKA COLLINS) it's sound is more SLADE ........bottom heavy bass, solid guitar notes nailed to the floor 'I HATE SUNNY DAYS WHEN THE NITES ARE COLD, I HATE MY FRIENDS WHEN THEY DON'T DO AS THEY'RE TOLD', and 'I TOOK A LONG HARD LOOK AT MYSELF . LORD I GUESS I'M JUST TOO TOUGH' !

'YOUR MY WOMAN'

HEAVY METAL KIDS /DOLLS sound........drums hit hard and fast, harmonica wails in and out, melodic guitars in the middle before it speeds up again 'EVEN ON BROADWAY, OR DELANCEY ST., LOVE MAKER MISTRESS IT's ALL THE SAME'........

'KING QUEEN'

GOOD one, this one alternates between heavy glam and ZEPPELIN good time rock, with mesmerizing guitar sounds, harmonica wails into a fast blues number, 'HERE WE ARE LYING ON A R-n-R SCENE, SEXY MEAN, CAN'T U SEE WHAT I MEAN' ? !

'DON'T PITY ME'

guitars attack heavily, defiant sound, with SUPER DRUMS, 'I'M A R-n-R CITY BOY AND THATS NOT JUST IN THE EVENING, WOOOOO BABY, WOOOOOOO'............ later the drums go into a solo where only the singer and the drummer camp it up for a minute or 2......

'LEATHER BOYS'

so how does PANDORA end a masterpiece of a glam rock lp ? they surprise the listener with an homage to the WHO, least it sounds that way with the SPARKLING mod guitar riffs, ......'HEY LEATHER BOYS WHERE ARE U RUNNING TO, YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN', and 'ON THE RADIO U HEARD THE NEWS THAT BROUGHT U DOWN, IT MAKES THOSE BLUE EYED BOYS WONDER WHERE U ARE, .....COME ON BOYS, OH BOYS, COME ON'............then the band brings the song home while the singer says 'LEATHER BOYS'....about 12 times then the song fades......... *

, if any of u out there like 70's glam, specifically the sound of '74, then look no further than PANDORA, and please send your money to ARF ARF records, this lp is killer !

DOLLS-type raunch played fast......' WELL IT's SO TROPICALLY HOT, I SAID ALL THE BOYS ARE BREAKING THE POT, WHEN THE DOGS ARE DOIN' IT IN THE STREET'........and ' WELL THE VELVET HAMMERS ON THE RISE '........this RARE single was their only actual release which ended up on a punk comp .............the b side was called 'SAT NITE POGO', not sure how that one sounds.........

'PSYCHOTIC'

this one sounds more like MICK JAGGER fronting the DOLLS......'I SAID NOW OOOOO YEA, YEA, BA, BA, BA , BA, SAID WAY SO FAST, DIED VERY SLOW, I SAID PYSCHOTIC I GOT NO PLACE TO GO', ......and .....'WELL DRIVE UP THE MASSES'.....a chorus is sung as the letters are spelled out 'P-S-Y-C-H-O-T-I-C'....did u know that ROBBY KRIEGER from the DOORS ended up playing on one version of 'PSYCHOTIC' ?

http://www.censorthis.com/maumaus.html

*

well as u can see this is the cover of SKYBAND's lp below, however we did not intend for it to come out so big, it just happened that way.......this song 'BANG ! OHH ! U GOT ME !'is from Skyband's lp of '75, ....from the beginning u can tell it's from '75, this is sci-fi rock, GREAT guitar, bass and drums, and keyboard squiggles, and a violin as well !....'thought i was a midnight cowboy riding on the midnight range', then come some squiggles from the keyboard, later a violin plays along and some more lyrics are 'tried to be a deep sea diver catching all the fish', and 'i used to be a main attraction, now i'm just a falling *'.

well D.O.M. used a violin in their mid 70's punk glam, but this is more pop, and rock oriented compared with the DOCTORS dark punk sound, ...the FAST had a GREAT punk song in '76 with 'WOW, POW, BASH, CRASH', SKYBAND's song here has some campiness like the one from the FAST here, however they are not as fast or punk oriented like the FAST, probably closer in style to the TUBES, and they have a whole lp from '75 which our friend says has some good ones on it,here is the track listing -

1. Bang! Ooh! Ya Got Me! - 3:38 2. Me and the Raver - 3:28 3. Pie in the Sky - 2:35

4. Hollywood - 2:57 5. Dream Machine - 3:33 6. Spotlight on the Dancer - 2:42

7. Cold Light of Day - 4:47 8. Small Talk - 2:30 9. Can't Keep My Love Undercover - 2:54

10. Roll It Over - 3:40 11. Easier Than Saying Goodbye - 2:55

DAVID KUBINEC - 'SIT ON IT' '78

former member of the RATS ( see page 15), no not RONSON's rats, but a different band who sang an excellent power-pop glam # called 'TURTLE DOVE' '74, also they had a GREAT lp '74 as well ( see page 14for review), a few yrs later KUBINEC released this song as well as a few others we have been told, this has to be one of the most decadent songs since the HOLLYWOOD BRATS 'SUCKIN on SUZIE' '75 ( see page 4), 'SIT ON IT SUGAR, SIT ON IT', yes he's referring to his face, this is hard rock with a good PUNK edge, strong keyboards, rough guitar and vocals, and the girls in the background do a great chorus of 'sit on it'.....

and guess what KUBINEC released an lp in 78' with JOHN CALE producing !! guess who played guitar on some songs ? CHRIS SPEDDING who else....SPEDDING has played on every lp ever recorded......here is a track liting from this hard to find lp

1 Another Lone Ranger 2 Some Things Never Change 3. Love in the First Degree 4. Comin' Home 5. Out in the Rain

6. Sit on It 7. Line Shooter 8. On the Edge of the Floor 9. Tear Myself Away 10. The Elf Sires

STRETCH - 'MISS DIZZY', FROM THE LP 'ELASTIQUE' '75

EXCELLENT song, this one sounds very influenced by STEVE HARLEY and DAVID BOWIE as well, soft rock with very good musicianship, 'SHE CAN SPRINKLE * stardust ON HER SILKY HAIR, BLOWING TACKY KISSES WHEN THE CROWD IS THERE, DON'T U KNOW SHE CAN'T MAKE IT, CAN'T FAKE IT, SHE'S SO SQUARE', and HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION THEIR HARLEQUIN (SOMETHING) COLUMBINE' , and 'SHE THINKS HER PUBLIC CAN GO ON WITHOUT HER, SHE'S GONNA BE A *', yes these are some of the lyrics from this gem, search this one out, and they had a few lps in the mid 70's....

MICK RONSON - 'ONLY AFTER DARK' '74

Bowie's guitarist, this song from RONSON's 'SLAUGHTER ON 10th AVE. sounds exactly like Bowie's vocals, but thats not surprising since he played guitar alongside him for yrs, this one has solid guitar playing , solid drums as well, 'let my spirit fly, only after dark, ahh'.....'love me tender' the ELVIS classic the b side....

WOODY WOODMANSEY - 'U BOAT' '77

from Bowie's Spiders i think he played drums, glam-pop-rock, has BOWIE-type guitar, elec. piano, 'this is your agent calling, isn't it good to be back home', and 'i'm beginning to see the light, trun on your tv and watch the fight', later, 'the dive, the dive, the dive, 10, 000 bodies fill the night', GOOD song here,'* machine ' was the b side..... and we have read he was in the 'SPIDERS' lp that was released in '75......

this hard rock band had a few lps in the early 70's and they were led by a gal named JANITA 'JENNY' HANN' ,this song is hard rocking glam with a good-time rock sound, the girl sings very well' 'hey hey' sing the guys while she sings 'if u want u should have been by now' ! this was their 2nd single,......'we are holding on' was the b side.... their lps are said to be great, they played progressive hard rock, as well as some glam....

RON DAVIES

'IT AIN'T EASY' '70

'all the people got their problems, that ain't nothin' new, it ain't easy, it ain't easy when your goin down......yes this is the original version that Bowie would cover on his 'ZIGGY STARDUST ' lp later..... and Ron sure sounds a lot like Bowie, no I am sure he is not related to ray...w'll bring more info here on this person soon....'silent song thru the land' was the b side....

RAY EDEN

'DESDEMONA'

a current member of the uk glam scene, his cover of the old JOHN's CHILDREN classic is GREAT !, unique bass playing and modern spaced-out Punk guitar bring new life, and a different twist on one of the originalmod-pysch uk singles from '66...soon we'll find out the year of release....

this was a late 70's glam band that played with a punk/metal edge, this song about a girl from hollywwod is a dark rock number with strong guitar and heavy bass, it came out on a 45 with 'u really got me', and my #'

FLAME - 'BEG ME' '77

late glam rock band from the lp 'QUEEN of the NEIGHBORHOOD'......this song with female lead vocals can be classified as trash, but pretty good trash at that, sounds like one of thoe n.y. city street bands from the mid 70's, the girl builds up an act that sounds a bit like PATTI SMITH, allthough not as good, actually sounds closer in style to MEATLOAF's 'PARADISE by the DASHBOARD LIGHTS'.....soon we''l find out about the lp and how it holds up....

HELLO - 'I LOVE R-n-R' '96 yes from the current lineup starring BOB BRADBURY, whom many of our viewers say is not the real HELLO, featuring only one ORIGINAL member, well this song does not reflect the true Hello we say, it ain't that great and sounds like a cheap take on the MERRILL classic, actually for purists like ourselves this sounds offensive, thumbs down....:(

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

PAT BUCHANAN - To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.

JERRY FALWELL Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what "they" call it-the "other side." Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain and simple as that.

DR. SEUSS Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, But why it crossed, I've not been told!

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

ARISTOTLE It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX It was a historical inevitability.

RONALD REAGAN What chicken?

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

FOX MULDER You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

BILL GATES I have just released eChicken 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.

EINSTEIN Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by "chicken"? Could you define "chicken" please?

THE BIBLE And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

COLONEL SANDERS I missed one?

According to the Vedic literature the living entity is not only a material body, but it is built of three different layers. The visible material body is constituted of the elements of the periodic system; this is our body that we see when we look in the mirror. The mind, intelligence and the false ego constitute our subtle material body that we can't experience with our senses. This covers the soul, the real bearer of life - our real self. The soul is the real bearer of our personality, self. The subtle body is like a cloud around the soul and the gross body is only a lot of complicated but lifeless molecules.

It is an interesting question then how many souls are there in a multicellular animal's body, which is built of billions of cells? According to the Vedic point of view there is a soul in each cell of the body, but these are on a quite low level of consciousness. Above these bodily cells ("living bricks") one soul exercises power who is on a higher lever in the process of reincarnation. This only soul, having a higher consciousness, uses the plant, animal or human body which is built of millions of cell-size bodies. This soul exercises power above the other cells, also having individual souls. According to the Vedic literature the body dies when this controlling soul (with his subtle covering) leaves this gross body and moves to another body. After the exit of the controlling soul the co-ordination stops amongst the bodily cells, the body 'dies', or it remains without control.

A clone would be different from his genetical 'parent' emotionally and in his character, just as the psyche of identical twins is different. The conclusion of all this is that we can't laugh at death, creating eternity for ourselves or for anyone else. A clone successor is not the 'continuation' of his predecessor but an independent personality who for some time received a body similar to somebody else's. Science will never be able to conquer death, perishableness because this is one of the created, built-in qualities of our world.

It is important to point out that science didn't create life from matter with cloning since it has been manipulating only with living things. It seems to prove statements of Vedic scriptures that the efforts of science still can't overstep the border line between perishable matter and eternal soul, and they can't change the eternal laws of life and death.
