Hello darkness, my old friend

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence

Fuck F104's

such a good looking plane.

It's too bad we don't make clones of the really cool historic aircraft so they can continue to be enjoyed beyond being static displays.

Would it really be that hard to build a replica XB-70 in 2018?

>Would it really be that hard to build a replica XB-70 in 2018?

I'm guessing: yes.

I'm not talking about for an individual, im talking about for a group of people that know how to build military airplanes.

I know nothing about planes but I love this song

Nice idea, but impractical. The costs alone wouldn’t make sense for 1 or two aircraft. Th you add up the maintenance, parts chain, etc and you realize there’s no way it’ll happen.
