Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the early 1970s, someone wrote to Rolling Stone magazine stating that the weird words [the chorus, to be exact] of the song 'Across The Universe' is 'Love is good hash' when played backwards. Guess what - it sure does sound like it. [The nature of the human brain makes us notice recognizable patterns where there aren't any. The 'weird words' of the chorus (jai guru deva om) is a Sanskrit phrase John Lennon would have encountered during the Beatles transcendental meditation period; it's simply a coincidence that, played backward, it sounds like English words (keep in mind that, at the time, people were actively searching for backward messages in songs, too).]
