Re: literate music
Didn't some Terry Taylor related project have a "Further Up Further In"
song? I'm thinking maybe Jacob's Trouble or maybe the Dogs
I'll add to the OtR references:
"Circle of Quiet" I think is a L'Engle title.
"Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander" is a Merton title
"Miles to go before I sleep" quoted from Frost
well, I suppose those are the easy ones. Of course there are the artistic
allusions as well: the art references in Jack's Valentine and Paul and
Virginia.
