OK, how many FReepers are old enough to remember playing Beatles albums backwards during the “Paul is dead” fad?

Yeah, but have you ever listened to Pink Floyds album "The Wall" while watching the Wizard of Oz?

Dude, it's like.....a stupid thing to waste your time doing.

Yes, after a fashion. I read of the “Paul is Dead” thing in my college sociology textbook twenty years ago and my parents have never forgiven me messing up their old original LP of the “Abbey Road” album.

Thank you for bringing up my old trauma.

This isn’t backward masking. The idea is that our speech in reverse reveals what’s really going on in the subconscious.

I remember when Oates was appearing on Art Bell’s shows he was playing a lot of these and giving him a lot of airtime. They had a big falling out though. I tried to do some of these by playing back recorded conversations. Lot of interesting strings turn up but much seems coincidental and suggestive. Oates also has a metaphor list where meaning is ascribed to oft occurring words or phrases.

I'm plenty old enough, but because I'm that old I can only vaguely remember hearing about that kind of thing.

I'm leery of any such psychobabble as reverse speech interpretation, but I don't have any trouble mentally picturing Barrak HUSSEIN Obama as a smirking demon with it's horns closely cropped and it's forked tail tucked up under it's tailor made shirt. I believe the man is as evil and as dangerous as any man who ever ran for any public office anywhere anytime.
