Dinosaurs Return to Raze the Surface of the Earth

The following is an excerpt from a 15 September 2013 email sent from Art to Will regarding the Concert for Iceland.

Not exactly like this, but close.

I think this concert might be a benefit for Iceland after a volcanic explosion.

It'd be hilarious to see the South Asian Dr. Carlton Farthington posing with a little toe-headed Icelandic toddler with soot on his cheeks (my son, James, could easily pull that off).  The connection to The Principles of Theory is that Dr. Farthington was obsessed with the idea that dinosaurs had survived the Ice Age by seeking warmth in volcanic caves, caves he theorized went all the way to the center of the earth.

You'll have to read The Principles more in depth, but the bottom line is that this theory explains his interest in Iceland after the eruptions.  The volcanic eruption was a sign to him that the "turbulent reversals" he had prophesied were soon to begin--that dinosaurs would return to raze the surface of the earth.  Paradoxically, only those (Carlton's followers) who traveled to the center would be immune from these reversals, which go far beyond just the return of the dinosaurs.  He preached that it would culminate in a complete reversal of the laws of physics...doesn't matter, though, it's just the ravings of a lunatic.

I really like the idea of a press conference...maybe the inclusion of songs in the context of that press conference is to promote the concert.  It's not the concert itself, which may never have occurred.  Maybe Farthington just took the money and ran.  Another cool thing about this is that we could potentially do the "press conference" multiple times.
