think about this...
Maye the reason that some of the holes that were placed into the plot were
there for the sole reason of disuccion. I remember when the CD came out.
This list was a hotbed of discussion of people trying to figure out who
killed who. It was great. Also a conceptual story is supposed to force you
to fill in the holes. Would it have been as ainteresting to listen to if
the story was told complete from front to back? This listener seriously
doubts it. I know myself that I am able to listen to it and the story
changes a bit each time.

I started a thread a few days ago about holes in the Scenes From a Memory
(SFaM) plot. (Like, when exactly did Edward plant the suicide note in
Julian's pocket?)
The best explanation I heard in response was: massive police corruption.
I guess I can buy that. If you go to the Google.com search engine, and
enter "Vincent Foster", you'll find more than you wanted to know about a
real-life fake "suicide" in 1993. It's got everything -- a phony "suicide
note", physically impossible exit wounds, missing evidence, even a gun that
changed color in the middle the investigation. There were even rumors of
an illicit love affair (with Hillary Clinton, yuck!) But anyone who tries
to talk about Vince Foster now is labeled a right-wing nut.
This makes me wonder whether the story of Vince Foster in any way
influenced the SFaM album. Did anyone from the band ever mentioned Foster
in an interview?
And by the way, I DID finally figure out how to hear the band commentary
on the SFaM DVD. (Go to "Set Up".) It was fun and funny hearing their
comments.
