yyz311 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Sorry if this has been discussed before (I made a cursory glance at previous posts). I was staring at the album cover yesterday and the time on the clock is 9:12 - or in military time, 21:12. Pretty clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigershark2112 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Can we just post something on the home page notifying everyone that we're all already very aware of this? Not trying to be mean, but this is really like the 18th thread about this. I literally facepalmed and sighed when I saw the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was staring at the album cover yesterday and the time on the clock is 9:12 - or in military time, 21:12. Pretty clever. It's not what you think it is. It is not 9:12 (21:12) Use the symbols in the liner notes song numbers to determine the translation of symbols to numbers. You'll see that in a clockwork universe "1" is at the top of the clock, not "12" like our timeline. Technically, the time is 10:17-ish (22:17 for you military types and mainframers) on the cover of CA. An illusion by Rush. I think it means this album is not what we think it is. I believe it is an extremely deep satire - just like Candide, imo. Deep. Very, very deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 What's REALLY cool is that there's a guy waving in the background of the Permanent Waves cover. Anyone notice this? Who IS that guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spock Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Despite all previous depth and breadth of coverage, I have yet to read anyone else's interpretation that the clock should be read as twelve minutes past BU2B2. Interpret at will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpret at will... An interesting hypothesis, spock. Watchmaker keeps the time. Anarchist on the cover. Hands set to after BU2B2. I hadn't considered that aspect. Interesting. Further reinforcement of that this is not 21:12 (9:12), but an illusion of it. Looks like a reflection of a tale of rebellion against an authoritarian power when in reality it is a scathing satire (the subject of which I think I have a bead on) and, ironically, a work of true optimism. Brilliant. Fascinating. Complex, yet quite simple. Thanks for the insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
