PLease  bear with me a moment - In Ojibwe thought, art that follows  
a circular path (eg a loop) is the ultimate form of expression. It is
thought that the thing has a beginning, a period of growth, a period of
centemplation, and a "end". In the grand scehme of the Universe, it is
thought that this end exists simply to make the next begining easier to
comprehend (like the big bang expansion/contraction theory). Since all
things come from the natural world (even if human beings mine it and
refine it into something else), it is logical (in OJibwe thought) too
state that the Whales are compsing. To qoute Mike Muir, "just 'cause you
don't like don't mean that it ain't no good."

That's just my $.02

PBS is running a way cool documetary on Jazz. The fourth and final
instalment is on tonight. Check your local listings :)
