As I said years ago, the album is the only example of a "Bob Sandwich", and it is musical double entendre. It's a letter to/about hip-hop and it's a letter to his then-girlfriend, now wife. Like a few other albums, I hear it visually. "Changeling" is the one that stands out as I will always see a certain bridge I grew up near towards the end of the song, and now I can't hear that part of the song without seeing my "vision". You cannot take away the power of MIAPW either or what BSWAGOS means. It's not only crate digger nerdism, but there are puzzles within the songs and one has to figure out what he was trying to say. When you hear the crackle during the end where they play the sample to TWIN PEAKS, you know exactly what part of that scene represents: the 78rpm playing at the *end* of the record as "Bob" shows up. "Bob" showed up at the beginning of the album ("Bob Wood, national program director of the CHUM group, worked with us in producing..."), and when you look at the word BOB, you could also say that it may look like the number 808, as in a drum machine. Anyway, I'll shutup.
