Genius. All eight songs on “Remain in Light” are excellent, and decades later I’ve still haven’t heard anything as original and interesting. Of course, Adrian Belew and Brian Eno also played major parts in the making of this record.
This is one of the first records to be added to my collection. “Remain in Light” was also the first CD I bought. One tragic note here is that I liked the artwork on the album liner so much that I decided to make a book cover out of it. I know, I know. It was stupid, but I had the coolest book cover in my junior high for the week or two before it fell apart. Another unfortunate thing, my older friends had the earlier records and since I got to hear them all the time I never picked them up.
Making a list–Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right–Facts are useless in emergencies

What’s the context for these? Are they inscribed on the vinyl? Favorite lyrics? Sorry if it’s obvious and I’m missing it.
Context!? I’ll give you context! Those are a couple lines from “Crosseyed and Painless.” I just like them.
A masterpiece.
