Distance Equals Rate Times Time

I think he's saying that people should turn off their TV's and look at science and nature and space, which is more fascinating than any TV show. That's just what I've inferred from his interviews and things.

i like danvitalerocks interpretation.

THis song is one of the pixies best. Short and sweet. i like it better as its own song, rather than mixed in with the verses of subbacultcha.

this song used to be the tail end of subbacultcha. its on the purple tapes

plosion, will you marry me? I agree, this song is AWESOME.

I say we all get married, and this song can be our 'Wedding March'. Then, we can demand that the ONLY music allowed at our reception is Pixies' music. No more "Electric Slide", f*ckers!!

I think the song has to do something with math. Just watch these vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZqV8v8dfYk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgbzBZBcdEQ

I think this song is about ozone depletion. It was most likely written when this was more of a hot issue. He had this vision when looking into the sun which is how we discovered this problem. The fact that he says we got no atmosphere seams like the best indicator of this meaning. We got to think quick because this could become a serious problem. As for blind st. nick this could mean many things. St. Nick is known most famously for giving gifts, but also for saving people. The blind part could be interpreted many ways as well.

Didn't Newton have something to do with Distance equals rate times time? I remember hearing that Newton once looked into the sun for hours simply to see what would happen - fortunately he wasn't blinded.

hats off to you wiz

I always thought it was about claustrofobia, and maybe some cocaine. .. dont ask me why. but the idea of the ozone hole makes perfect sense.
