Aww...
Lest I leave my own pretentiousness hanging, the Hemingway story is about a camping trip by a solitary man. Nothing happens. Eventually you realize it's about WWI, and all the horror he's trying to shut out of his life with simple, back to nature tasks.
Similarly the US was going to shit in 68, Brian Wilson's life was falling apart and in Friends he's singing about you driving up to his house to visit him, and he'll be in the back working...
I think I made a similar point about Mother Nature's Child, getting back to Sir Paul.
I'm really into art that leaves stuff out although I'm largely incapable of doing it.
