“Van Halen buried a special clause in the middle of the contract. It was called Article 126. It read, “There will be no brown M&Ms in the backstage area, upon pain of forfeiture of the show, with full compensation.” So when Roth would arrive at a new venue, he’d walk backstage and glance at the M&M bowl. If he saw a brown M&M, he’d demand a line check of the entire production. “Guaranteed you’re going to arrive at a technical error,” he wrote. “They didn’t read the contract…. Sometimes it would threaten to just destroy the whole show.”
In other words, Roth was no diva. He was an operations expert. He couldn’t spend hours every night checking the amperage of each socket. He needed a way to assess quickly whether the stagehands at each venue were paying attention — whether they had read every word of the contract and taken it seriously. In Roth’s world, a brown M&M was the canary in the coal mine.”
So the Numbers don’t coincide with the people, but with the degree on the compass that their name falls at. Why do the names appear at the degrees they appear at? Why is Jack at 23 instead of 24? or 32? or 100? or 11 billion?
SERIOUSLY, why hasn’t Kate been mentioned yet?
Apparently if it weren’t for Jacob and the Island, Jack would be a sober, separated-but-responsible father. Who did he have David with? His wife from early in his life? I don’t think it could be: with the island underwater and unable to affect events on the surface, everything all the way back to the Black Rock is totally different. This seems to be a sober, responsible Sideways Jack, how else has he changed? Is he now able to leave broken things be, or is he still the great fixer? Would he ever promise to “fix” his future (now ex) wife, thereby falling in love with and marrying her? With the Black Rock passing over the island decades ago, would she even still need to be fixed?
Is Claire infected, or dead and being inhabited by the Smoke Monster?
This is pretty cool. The closest I can come to explaining this video is, “A girl has a dream where she plays tennis against the internet. RZA is her best friend and Vampire Weekend is her brother. Her mother is a high-society clone of herself, and Jake Gyllenhaal is her gay dad.”
I'm Sean Curry, a 24 year old funny guy (and terrific dancer) who thinks that dress is sexy but sensible on you. I live in New York, I'm a little too excited about Lost, and I love the internet. Read my blog, see what I'm loving right now, or play some Tetris.
Attention Stalkers, I will be at these places at these times:
