“Now I’m in the subway and I’m looking for the flat … This one leads to this block, this one leads to that … The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home … I run through the empty stone because I’m all alone!”

The only bandleader that mattered

I saw the 1982 & 1984 shows at the Fox, sadly the legendary Agora Ballroom show was before I lived in Atlanta.

Death of the Earl of Upnor

We all know from The Confusion / The Juncto that Upnor “the finest swordsman in England” was “beaten to death with a stick by an Irishman”, so why does it say in The System of the World / Solomon’s Gold “the Earl of Upnor had perished a quarter-century ago at the Battle of Aughrim, fending off a hundred Puritans, Germans, Danes, &c. with his rapier, until shot in the back.”?

Tower of London

I am currently approaching the end of my fifth (5th) reading of the Baroque Cycle, and I must confess that all of the detailed descriptions of the Tower of London are completely lost on me. When I read anything about the Tower I absolutely surrender to ignorance and soldier on.

Maybe one day I’ll read those portions with a detailed map of the Tower in front of me and try to understand what he’s trying to convey.
