    It's very scary the things you hear when you play music backwards. Does it scare you in any way? :-P

    My reference was to the great recording "The Point" narrated
    and sung by Harry Nilsson. In part of the story Oblio meets up
    with the Rock Man who gives Oblio some words of wisdom.

    Gleened from:

    https://nmbx.newmusicusa.org/you-see-what-you-want-to-see-and- you-hear-what-you-want-to-hear/

    https://bbs.lc/n8cvN


    " One of the first things Oblio and Arrow noticed about the
    Pointless Forest was that all the leaves on all the trees had
    points, and all the trees had points. In fact, even the
    branches of all the trees pointed in different directions,
    which seemed a little strange for a pointless forest. [.] Oblio
    told the Rock Man that they were banished and asked him whether
    or not this was the Pointless Forest.

    " The Rock Man said, "Say, babe, there ain't nothing
    pointless about this gig. The thing is you see what you want to
    see and you hear what you want to hear. You dig? Did you ever
    see Paris?"

    " "No."

    " "Did you ever see New Delhi?"

    " "No."

    " "Well, that's it. You see what you want to see and you hear
    what you want to hear."

    " -Nilsson, The Point (1971)
