The Tragically Hip - "Fiddler's Green"

On these days when I'm in the office and away from the record player, it's nice to be able to pull up the Tragically Hip channel on Sirius and let them provide the day's soundtrack. And this one just came up, so I thought I'd forward it along.

What does the title An Elephant Is Warm And Mushy actually MEAN? Or refer to or whatevs? I swear I have looked, that's literally the only thing I care about, and I can't find if you ever explained it.

There is an old Parable about a group of blind men who encounter an Elephant. They each feel different parts of it to try to figure out what it is. "It's a tree!" says one man, feeling it's leg "It's a snake!" says another, holding it's trunk. "It's a fan!" says the man touching it's ear. "It's a spear!" says the man feeling the sharp end of it's tusk "It's a wall!" says the man, feeling its side! "It's a rope!" says the man holding it's tail.

It's a metaphor about how no one person can totally percive the nature of reality, and how your perspective may be wildly limited and you should always get some extra perspective.

Notoriously Crass Cartoonist Sam Gross made this cartoon:

...but here's the thing.

While a Biologist can't tell you everything about an animal by it's scat, but they can tell you A DAMN LOT about it. For starters, if there's poop, it had to have come out of an animal, and not a collection of random inanimate objects. If they coordinate datapoints, they can probably work out that an Elephant is a large Herbivore with a trunk and tusks and huge ears, and that's 90% of the picture right there!

The relevance to the fic is that, 90% of the problems in Bleach happen because Nobody Fucking Communicates Anything, and the other 10% are from the fact that key data about the universe has been hidden. Nobody can really tell what's going on, until someone finds The Real Shit.

artists I think each of the cars characters would listen to:

lightning mcqueen - either backstreet boys or one direction, either way he’s a boy band type of guy

sally carrera - YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THIS WOMAN DOESN’T LISTEN TO FIONA APPLE, LAUFEY AND LANA DEL REY like I can envision her belting out the most obscure unreleased lana del rey song ever that no one has ever heard of at the dead of night lmao

mater - uhhhhh rascal flatts ig just anything country

jackson storm - I know he listens to Megan thee stallion, the weeknd and micheal jackson you can NOT convince me otherwise and he despises nicki minaj with a passion (he streams hiss every day in his trailer and it drives his crew chief crazy)

cruz ramirez - I’m not gonna do her dirty here and assume she’s a sw*ftie but also she just feels more like an olivia rodrigo type of gal. She just has that vibe you know

natalie certain - she feels like a fiona apple girlie too tbh

flo - she listens to beyoncé like it’s her life support she fucking LOVES HER also mariah carey (you know she blasts THAT song every november to december in radiator springs LMAO)

ramone - listens to tyler the creator I JUST KNOW IT!!

sarge - listens to the national anthem to help him sleep
