We live in sophisticated systems often best understood through psychological inquiry into inter-referential mythologies. The more we are aware of this process enough to participate in creation the more culture is made on purpose. I have practiced, am now, and aspire to be a better Culturesmith. This is a collection of existing evidence of public contributions to the culture-making process, with comments and original work from those who have asked to be represented here.

Samuel Beckett

from the Internet Archive









Also Known As:
Samuel Beckett's Film
Runtime: 20 min
Country: USA
Color: Black and White
Sound Mix: Silent

A twenty-minute, almost totally silent film (no dialogue or music one 'shhh!') in which Buster Keaton attempts to evade observation by an all-seeing eye. But, as the film is based around Bishop Berkeley's principle 'esse est percipi' (to be is to be perceived), Keaton's very existence conspires against his efforts

Beyond the published analysis on the web, what's going on in this song?

Lyrics for: Lookin' Out My Back Door

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin',

Chorus:
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.

There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.

Chorus

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo.
Wondrous apparition provided by magician.

Chorus

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

Chorus

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

Chorus
