Fatal

I think there may be a link between PJ's 'Fatal' and the Jeffrey MacDonald murder story. If you don't know what I'm talking about go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_MacDonald

A best selling book was written about the murders called 'Fatal Vision'.

"How warm are his eyes?"

I have stronger interpretations about this song, but this is the most interesting. Anybody want to study the lyrics more and see (I'm too lazy?)
Riverside.. LA.. California. EV?

    Interesting, but I don't understand how you saw a connection between "Fatal" and this murder case.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    From the book's name, 'Fatal Vision'

    I really doubt that the song has any connection though.

    Oh, I see. I thought you meant there was a connection beyond the name of the book.

    well, beyond the word "fatal"...what would make you think as such??? it is not such an unusual word that to link it merely by a title and nothing else - seems rather weak. i would not have gotten any connextion with that alone.

    however - is one of my most fave songs.....always gives me such *chills*.

    A lot of songs have references to events that happened in their time, and most of them aren't deliberate. It's hardly a new idea.

    that movie made such an impression on me, i was so young when i saw it, and forensics has been a pet of mine ever since, never thought about it connected to that song but very, very interesting
    Sometimes "Majority" just means all of the Fools are in Agreement.

    ill be honest the one producer on lost dogs said it was his favorite song that came off of the binaural recordings i have to disagree i find it boring, it drags on as do some of the slower songs.

    i know it may not mean much but doesn't it say on the lost dogs sleeve notes that Eddie changed the lyric from 'The answers are Plato....' because when he sang it it sounded like Playdoh.

    I see you take another drag
