Everything Will Be Alright in the End - Glossary: Difference between revisions

The teaser videos for ''EWBAITE'' show Laffoley, an employee of some kind of facility in 1965, observing visual transmissions from various periods in the future through a machine resembling an oscilloscope ([[The Futurescope Trilogy|Futurescope]] named on the album). The [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End - Script|script]] for the teaser videos describes Laffoley as a "22-year-old (Harvard) University scientist prodigy" who constructed the Futurescope in the basement of a Harvard University building to answer three burning questions: How he can find a girl, how he can find fame, and how he can find his father. The transmissions largely center around a younger man named [[#Sebastian|Sebastian]] at various points in his life, from childhood to growing up and becoming the lead musician in a band called [[The Astronauts]]. Laffoley is seen taking extensive notes and behaving secretively, trying to hide his findings at various points, continuing his research in secret even as his superiors cut the power to his research laboratory. In the final teaser video, Laffoley observes Sebastian winning an award for Album of the Year. Sebastian then dedicates the album to his father: Joe Laffoley. Realizing finally that Sebastian is his son, Laffoley smiles to himself, as the machine's power is cut off and he is carried away by men in white suits.

The liner notes for the album feature a photo of Laffoley (accompanying the ''[[Patriarchia]]'' section), with the back of the liner notes reading "Transmissions received and sorted by Joe Laffoley, 1965, 4th level literati." followed by the [[EYD]] insignia.
