It was not released as a single in the UK, where buyers who could not afford the album had to settle for heath Hampstead's Polydor version. It is the last Bee Gees single to feature Vince Melouney's guitar since he left the band in early December after releasing the song as a single. The B-side of the song was Kilburn Towers, except for France, where Swan Song was used. I Started a Joke was written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb and produced by the Bee Gees with Robert Stigwood. The set and recording of songs for the album Idea was completed on June 20. I Started A Joke was the last recorded. According to Robin Gibb, the melancholic melody of the song was inspired by the sounds on board the plane: The melody for this was heard on board the Viscount British Airways Vickers about a hundred miles from Essen. It was one of those old four prop engines jobs that seemed like a passenger drone in a kind of hypnotic trance, but with that it was different. Droning, after a while, seems to take the form of a melody that mysteriously sounded like a church choir. So it was a decision! We hooked the pilot, forced him to land in the nearest village and there, in a small pub, we finished the texts [with Barry]. Actually it wasn't a village, it was a city, and it wasn't a pub, it was a hotel, and we didn't force the pilot to land on the field... but why ruin a pretty good story? There was a lot of it in those days, Barry laughed: There was a lot of psychedelics and the idea that if you wrote something, even if it sounded ridiculous, someone would find meaning to it, and that was the truth. [6] The structure and release of the song was originally recorded in a G major key and has two contrasting sections. The sections of the verses consist of a series of chords G Bm C and D. Chords for the bridge section The music video for I Started a Joke was directed by Jean-Christophe Averty. It was filmed in Brussels as part of Idea TV Special and features floating question marks on the song while Robin sings. In the film, Maurice is shown playing Rickenbacker 4001 and Vince Melouney plays Gibson ES-335. The song reached #1 in Canada, New Zealand and Australia. In Canada, he spent two weeks as number one on rpm charts. I Started a Joke debuted on #66 in the American magazine Cashbox on December 14, 1968. Robin Gibb's son starred in I Started a Joke shortly after his father died of kidney failure on May 20, 2012. Robin-John Gibb told The Sun: 'When he died we left, they took the equipment and we came back, I took the phone and found I Started a Joke on YouTube and played it. I put the phone on my chest and it was the first time I broke down. I knew the song and its lyrics were perfect for the moment. This song will always have a new meaning for me now.

The song I Started a Joke was heavily used at the end of penn & teller get killed, in which two magicians play each other in increasingly elaborate practical jokes with a fatal ending.

This introductory page is inserted, not with the pur- pose of reviewing the contents of the book—a custom, to our mind, more honored in the breach than the ob- servance—but merely to inform those who look within the pages, the seekers after knowledge concerning the laws of Oneirology and the bases of Fortune Telling, that they will find much to instruct, interest and amuse.

DEEAMS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION. Although much prejudice exists as to the origination of Dreams and the various interpretations given them, the fact is incontro- vertible that they have, in all ages and among all nations, borne a conspicuous part in shaping destinies. Both sacred and profane history is replete with dreams which have had more or less influ- ence upon the lives of the dreamers. Innumerable are the instances in which have been prefigured in dreams occurrences that have actually taken place, and many dangers have been averted by heeding warnings given during sleep.

  • Parallel Meridians: Diffusion and Change in Early-Modern Oceanic Reckoning," In: Noord-Zuid in Oostindisch Perspectief, Ed
    © Copyright 2005 A.R.T. Jonkers Jonkers, A.R.T., 2005. "Parallel meridians: Diffusion and change in early-modern oceanic reckoning," in: Noord-Zuid in Oostindisch perspectief, ed. J. Parmentier. The Hague: Walburg, pp.17-42. About six score years ago, the International Meridian Conference in Washington D.C. (1884) decided upon the meridian through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich as the universal reference datum for designating longitude on Earth.1 Now marked by a brass ledge set in stone on the Observatory grounds, it provides food for thought to thousands of tourists and school children every year, enabling them to consciously straddle the divide between the eastern and the western hemisphere. On a more practical level, the Greenwich meridian pervades the work of many scientists, surveyors, mapmakers, and mariners alike, offering a world standard in positional information. Regardless of origin, language, or current location, X degrees of longitude refers to the same place for all concerned (given latitude), be it printed on an Admiralty Pilot chart or displayed by a handheld GPS receiver. The implied benefits of a single prime meridian are indeed so obvious that it is easy to forget that these are proportional to the extent of uniform acceptance. Furthermore, the choice of Greenwich is rooted in political and maritime history; no physical or astronomical reason exists why the longitude of this leafy London borough should be favoured over any other. As long as a number of people agree on any common grid, each position contained therein is uniquely defined. However, when cartographic knowledge is scarce and incomplete, then strategic, commercial, and other considerations may induce separate groups to develop and maintain different solutions, either zealously preached, or jealously guarded.

  • Some Back Ground Info
    Some back ground info (source: The internet). Dennis Bryon and Blue Weaver first met in the mid sixties in a group called Brother John & The Witnesses. In 1966 Blue Weaver and Dennis Bryon joined a group from Cardif called Amen Corner. This septet, complete with saxes, was led by Andy Fairweather-Low, who at that time was only 16 years old. The group got a recording contract with Deram Records in 1966 and had many big hits during the next four years. These included "Gin House Blues," "Bend Me, Shape Me," and "High In The Sky" for Deram, after signing with Immediate Records they had further hits such as "(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice". During the four years of their existance they recorded three albums. After the end of Amen Corner, Andy Fairweather-Low founded a new, more progressive group, which he simply called Fairweather. The musicians of the new group were the same musicians that made up Amen Corner except for the horn section, which was missing. The first single release "Natural Sinner" was a big hit. After only one year the group broke up in 1971. After the failure of "Life In A Tin Can" the Bee Gees started to restructure the group and their sound. At first they found a new drummer. Dennis Bryon had previously played with Amen Corner and now joined the group. The next step for the Bee Gees was to find a new sound. Together with Atlantic producer Arif Mardin they worked on a modern form of rhythm'n'blues music. At first they added more rock'n'roll to their music.
