Welcome to Rhineland! I was talking with Todd Kearby once and pretty
much said the same thing to him that you've just said to us. He told me
what I'm about to tell you. Nobody gets all of Linford's references.
Heck most people don't even get half. Just enjoy it.

Good Luck. I've met them both numerous times and I either forget to ask
what I wanted, or there's just not enough time. The longest I've ever
talked to L was at the first roundup. He doesn't really tell you
anything when you ask questions. I can't complain, I'd be the same way.
Personally, I'd like to ask a few questions that I never have, but I
probably never will. I think if I found out, I'd be dissapointed. Plus
L and K, I think, are more interested in what *you* think than what
*they* meant. It's about communication, man. What do *you* hear?
That's all that really matters. Honestly, any good art only reflects
what the patron of it has inside... It's like a magic mirror to your
psyche.

Relax, let the force quide you, young Jedi. It's really not so
important that you understand what is meant, but that you *trust* what
is being said. If you trust the art, it can become whatever you need it
to be. You're already drawn to it--just trust it. I sound like a cult
leader don't I? Sorry. :)
