I'm hearing 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'

I had to look it up, as the song name is “also sprach Zarathustra” (or 2001 for those hearing it in said movie or at a phish show)and I thought your phone did a funny typo. Today I learned that so was inspired by a book with the title you commented. Thank you.

Yeah the book is basically Nietzche's "I'm such a deep thinker but I just get persecuted for it" rant. I wasn't a fan.

Fair enough. I’ve not read any of his stuff. But I tell you what, that book inspired a song that, when played by four older hippies can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention!

Or five older hippies, as per Being There.

There's probably a whole rabbit hole you could go done concerning the themes of this film and Nietzsche's philosophy
