Kiss The Sky?

Well the Doc seems to have gone off the deep end this time with his weekly foray into the realm of LOST theories and speculation.  Not sure why we're hung up on the purple sky this week. 

Seems pretty straightforward to me that a black hole could cause the purple sky! Come on!
A purple sky is a clue suggesting that spiritual forces with possibly sinister agendas are at work on the island.
HUH? ''Purple sky'' is clearly a reference to the Jimi Hendrix song ''Purple Haze.'' Reportedly, Hendrix said that he got the title of the tune from Night of Light, a science fiction novel by Philip Jose Farmer set on a planet called Dante's Joy where ''spiritual forces are made manifest in the material world,'' according to Wikipedia.
MOREOVER... Hendrix reportedly claimed that the key to understanding the song is the line ''whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.'' I'm sure Penelope-smitten Desmond and Claire-fixated Charlie can relate.
THEN AGAIN... Isn't the song really about drugs? And don't I sound, like, really high right now? Tune in next week when Doc Jensen will explore the links between Smokey the Monster and Deep Purple's ''Smoke on the Water,'' the novelty tune ''Flying Purple Eater,'' and Prince's ''I Would Die 4 U'' from Purple Rain.
Yeah. Like I said.  Far out, man.  So "Smoke on the Water" isn't about a house going up in flames? Aw, man! Groovy!
