This was always one of my favourites off of Guero. It still sounds great.

Theodore Sturgeon (aka Kilgore Trout...;-) and L Ron were in a bar complaining about
how little they were paid writing for the "pulp" magazines. L Ron was quoted as saying

It caught on and the rest as they say was a license for L Ron and Scientology to fleece

The only reason Scientology is recognized as a tax exempt 501(c)3 charitable organization is that over 2000 separate lawsuits were filed in federal courts suing the US government by members of the yet recognized religion. In exchange for dropping the over 2000 lawsuits which would require a considerable application of resources on the behalf of the Department of Justice, the President Clinton bestowed tax exempt status on Scientology. Commandment One of Scientology: Lawyer up.

{#Roflol} L. Ron obviously had some pretty amazing pharmaceuticals.
I'm not a big South Park fan, but their Scientology episode was truly hilarious.

8 years late on this reply, but to be clear I REALLY like Beck. Calling him a "rip-off artist with emphasis on artist" was not intended as an insult. I'm a proponent of the free-culture movement in general.

It wasn't the Douglas DC-8 that transported millions (not billions) to Earth, as kcar carefully annotated (but just dead wrong) for this song, way back when. But rather the Boeing 707. You can tell because, had it been the Douglas DC-8, Beck would have written about a red sky, not a purple one. All that, and the Boeing 707 was the spacecraft of choice throughout the outer Isleyian Rims when galaxies far far away were accessible by Radio Paradise.

Such a cool song...and so full of tasty samples and borrowings! This always makes me want to hear Smoke City's "Underwater Love."

Yipes! Where do you start? One artifact that pops out is the "Who's That Lady?" (Isley Bros., ca. 1972) guitar tone on this cut. Elsewhere on Guero he cops Prince's tone from "U Got the Look"—simply small quotes from an overflowing cornucopia of rock history. Add cool songs and his swagger at the mike. Wow.

 
Should look over all the comments, because I was not the 1st hear the Isley Bros. guitar sounds.
