@BowsacNoodle @graf @Rachael Were the lyrics written in ballpoint pen?

@grey @graf @Rachael >[During recording] Mangum brought with him a strange source of inspiration, a book that was a middle school assignment to nearly every American his age but which he somehow managed to circumvent, “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank. The book devoured him and after reading it he spent days crying over the story and fate of the Holocaust victim.
>As he told a Puncture magazine interviewer before Aeroplane‘s release, “I would go to bed every night and have dreams about having a time machine and somehow I’d have the ability to move through time and space freely, and save Anne Frank. Do you think that’s embarrassing?” The songs and lyrics he started writing about Frank could be so nightmarish in vision that Mangum grew afraid of what was issuing from his brain: verses about “pianos filled with flames” and eating “tomatoes and radio wires.” At times, he seems possessed, singing on Aeroplane‘s title track, “Anna’s ghost all around/ Hear her voice as it’s rolling and ringing through me.”
Possibly ball point pen. Probably some type of demonic involvement.

@grey @graf @Rachael Track 1 is kind of cool, but the album is really lame especially when you learn that a grown-ass man read The Diary of Anne Frank and wrote an album about it. I believe he said it "brought him to tears". LMAO.
