things i have learned from close encounters of the third kind:

1. aliens can play the tuba
2. aliens only abduct men who look like Richard Dreyfuss....come to think of it, the movie only hired men who looked like Richard Dreyfuss, all bushy haired and wide-eyed with side burns. Or maybe that's just the decade.
3. if we really did come into contact with a race that required us to communicate through music, i'd never be out of a job (maybe they want to play some orchestral excerpts with me?).
4. cute kid
5. aliens are suffering from malnutrition (look at those pot bellies!).
6. aviator sunglasses really were fashionable at one point
oh yeah, and that one other thing:
7. music really is the universal language! that's right bitches, give it some respect. damn fools.
