These are some initial impressions of the song. In the same way that andy could manipulate the breakfast with blassie, maybe there will be a truck stop instead of st peter's. I recall some interesting movie in the 80's where the premise was that the moon experience was all trumped up and contrived. He also associates in the same context as these games, common stories, or myths, such as moses and staff, egypt and the snake, and newton and the proverbial apple, and of course, the man on the moon - which ultimately is a story or image for us since none of can BEGIN to experience this directly. This I believe is the significance of stype's copious references to games such as 21 risk monopoly and the like. I belive stype saw and understood this genius and thus the inspired honorific song for Andy. He always made you ask 'is it real' or is it a game or act?' When Andy brought the audience into 'the act' he reached a transcendent genius where the viewer and the subject are one big presentation. One never knew when Andy was 'on' or 'off'. Andy's act was about presentation/story/image/appearance, games if you will. It is directly about Andy, even mentions his name, interestingly. General CommentI believe this very fine song is about appearance (and it's guises so to speak) and how in a sense all we have is appearance. If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve
