A really, really stupid question [inspired by South Park and Babylon 5]

I got to thinking about the Styx song "Come Sail Away" after the recent "South Park" episode that referred to it...

The song tells the story of a lone human who encounters a group of aliens (whom he originally mistakes for angels) who take him away on their starship amidst much singing...

Could that song be about Vorlons? :)

Of course if you had read the liner notes from the "Styx Unplugged - Live from Vorlon Prime" 57 Interdimensional Tour,, you would know that hes absolutely right!

Whats worse, to be stupidly imaginative, or brilliantly unimaginative?? Or is either possible?

Oh, yes. Most decidedly so.

Hmmmmm....

A lone human (say, he's in his bed at night) encounters a group of aliens (who enter his bedroom) who take him away on their starship (amid much anal probing)...

No wonder Cartman is obsessed with this song! :-)
