From here:

good morning children, and goodnight meg and i are violently pushing forward for absolutely no reason, we see elephant rising soon and it’s uncomplicated presence forces us to wake up in the morning. i want to tell you about it some, but i don’t know where to start. i designed the artwork myself and with the help of headcoats drummer bruce brand was able to bring it to printing block. i’ve seperated the earth into three parts vertically ( lattitude or longitude?) there will be six covers, one for vinyl, and one for compact disc in each of the three sections of the globe, that way meg and i know where you got it from, such as the vinyl in australia will be the same as the vinyl in japan, but different from the cd in south america, which will be the same as the cd in north america. don’t you understand? lots of lightbulbs going off, getting our feet on solid ground, attempting to destroy and rebuild at a moments notice. i’m very sad at some of you for peeking at you christmas presents before christmas morning, can’t you wait? i can, well i do, we want you to have it when we want you to have it, it’s unfair that some get a taste and confuse others before they have the chance to have it for themselves, but the devil is at work here and you will pay for your impatience. this world of have it now, millisecond attention span and gross neglect for quality is getting old. i’m getting old too, watch me slowly die. meg coughed today. i looked at a puddle too. i told beck to get out of my bathtub, and i collected do not disturb signs with terry. mostly i had three minutes to myself today, and tomorrow too. some of the minutes are on loan. eating well though, and smiling politely to strangers, meg says to hug you mothers tightly and i say to let you lamplight shine and burn. see you soon kids on a stage near you, boomdagle rumblefuss charpenhurper fortusblend and cateldragon.

Despite Jack’s claim of confusion, I don’t think there is too much confusion about Elephant. It ROCKS. Good god, does it rock.
