Just thought I'd offer a little explanation as to why I cater to this line so much.
It's from Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly," my all-time favorite song. It is amazing. I have loved this song since adolescence, and it's one of those that has always just hit me.
Do yourself a favor: sit back with your eyes closed and just let this song carry you.
And that line, "my grubby halo," describes so many of us. Big Munky calls me Angel--to my face. But I know I'm no angel. I have tendencies to help where I can, I have a soft spot for innocence. . .but I also have a terrible temper and little patience for ignorance and general assholes. So, if I do have a halo, so to speak, it's tarnished and dirty.
And yeah, you say the song's about a damn pilot and his plane, it doesn't matter. It's still my song and I love it so say it's about flying a damn plane and I will throw my shoe at your head.
Enjoy!
