That etymology is different than what I would have suspected, as you can see in my comment. I did not know about the \"sky father\" myth. I thought that \"sky daddy\" was just a contemporary anglicization of \"Father God\" or something like that.\r\n\r\nI do like SKY DADDY, though. And there are so many things which resonate with or reference it: [Alan Parsons's SIRIUS/Eye in the Sky](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56hqrlQxMMI) (the Sirius/Dogon Cosmology and Orion mysteries themselves are extremely interesting [Robert Temple](https://www.amazon.com/Sirius-Mystery-Scientific-Evidence-Contact/dp/089281750X/) and [Robert Bauval](https://www.amazon.com/Orion-Mystery-Unlocking-Secrets-Pyramids/dp/0517884542/)), [Philip K. Dick's book \"Eye in the Sky\"](https://www.amazon.com/Eye-Sky-Philip-K-Dick/dp/0547572549/) (PKD was a Gnostic mystic in his later years,) and of course the band which Alan Parsons really got his fame for producing, Pink Floyd, has the classic, timeless \"[The Great Gig in the Sky](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPGv8L3a_sY)\" which echoes this sentiment to some degree, but also alludes to a future event foreshadowed everywhere else in pop culture from David Bowie and his Ziggy Stardust cosmology to Bradley Nowell and Sublime's \"Jailhouse\" vision of a great concert \"up there\" with all of the masters of yore participating. (That is my interpretation of it, anyway.)\r\n\r\n\r\nSome excerpts of the lyrics to *Jailhouse*:\r\n\r\n\u0026gt;\"hat has been told to the wise and up-rooted\r\n\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026gt;is gonna be revealed unto babes and sublime\r\n\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026gt;I know that I'm gonna be there yeah\r\n\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026gt;Bud Gaugh will be singing there\r\n\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026gt;And Eric Wilson will be bangin' up there, yea\r\n\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026gt;And we'll be all singin ... with version, with version,\r\n\u0026gt;\r\n\u0026gt;Reagge version\r\n\r\nI should add that I have always had this notion myself of \"A rose by any other name ...\" with regard to the \"creator\" God. If this be a computer simulation, or something unlike anything we know, or if \"aliens\" create everything, whatever, however, a rose by any other name ... They are all the same to us. As Arthur C. Clarke says: \"Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic.\"","subreddit_name":"linguisticshumor","author":"mutilatedrabbit"}]}
