Nothing else matters

I took Sandra to the Metallica concert at the ABSA rugby stadium yesterday; and she loved it.

She closed her eyes, shook her head about and jumped up and down for hours.

As Metallica screamed at us: "Be who you truly are; for that is all that is real. Nothing else matters." Or something like that.

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
