Vitalogy ,Lightning , and a game of 7 degrees?

Sometimes life gets in the way...

So today is Viatlogy Monday....

While reading early on I caught this

little fun passage about what to do

if struck by lightning....

 

 (excuse my photography)

Throw water on the person...use artificial respiration because

people who have been declared dead have recoverd

up to an hour afterwards?

Yeah - don't think any of those are going to work.

The best part is the last -

If you can find a battery pass an electric current 

up and down the spine and extremities for 2 minutes...

God only knows what an 1880's battery was like?

I'm hoping this was in the vein of forethought for

what we now use 

known as an AED or

 an  automated external defibrillator.

and here are some illustrations

of what "CPR" was like in this era...

  to help inhale...

 to help exhale....

I'm guessing most patients did not recover !

Yikes....

How am I relating this to PJ music today?

Well the whole lightning blot thing struck me as funny

because of the new album...

"Lightning Bolt"

and then this happened at Wrigley Field

the night they debuted the new track

titled aptly

"Lightning Bolt" as well...

 Pretty crazy huh?

So now we have started a 7 degrees of Vitalogy thing right?

Here is the track played at Wrigley Field...

and by they way...

lets make another connection -

1st the book-

2nd the title of the new album-

3rd - the lightning strike

4th - the song "Nothingman" on Vitalogy

the lines

"caught a bolt of lightning - cursed the day he let it go"

So we have made a connection from 1880 all the way around to 2013.

Hmmm....

things happen for a reason right?

Have a Rockin' Day guys!
