A recent conversation about a Panopticon (wiki page here) led to a 4 A.M. urge to listen to Eye in the Sky, the 1982 hit single from British prog-rock group The Alan Parsons Project. The Orwellian sounding song was inspired by George Orwell’s book 1984 and front man Alan Parsons’ fascination with CCTV cameras. He ought to be thrilled with the current state of the Britian where (according to the BBC) there are over 4.2 million CCTV cameras or one for every 14 people. Geez. Do it to Julia!

P.S. Alan Parsons was the sound engineer on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. How is that for a claim to fame?
