"I hope to soon be in contact with the man who is searching for Noah's ark"
About this Quote
The subtext is less about the ark itself than about the modern hunger for confirmation. A “man who is searching” becomes a stand-in for the whole industry of seekers: true-believers, entrepreneurs, fringe researchers, and content-hungry audiences who treat ancient stories like scavenger hunts. Sullivan frames the search as a person, not a movement, which makes it intimate and slightly absurd. He’s not debating theology; he’s pointing at the peculiar charisma of certainty and the way it attracts followers.
Coming from a musician, the line also reads like a quiet self-portrait. Artists live in a parallel economy of quests: hunting authenticity, origin stories, lost tapes, the one truth that will make everything click. Reaching out to an ark-hunter is half satire, half recognition - a nod to how easily wonder and delusion share the same stage light. In a culture that rewards discovery narratives, Sullivan’s wit lands because it refuses to choose sides; it simply exposes the bargain beneath the myth: belief, if it can be “found,” can be sold.
