The reason it is difficult is that we have been conditioned to laugh at conspiracy theories, and few people will risk public ridicule by advocating them.

Music in general is very interpretative, isn’t it? It’s amazing how many songs in history have been misinterpreted but in an amazing way that means something to someone and that’s the beauty of music really, it’s what you make of it.
