I'm on one of my intermittent William Blake kicks and was thrilled to discover this tonight:

[Hammer of Los]

...

Coinkydink!

My wife was watching QI last night (I don't watch telly typically) and that dumb fat materialist know nothing and friend of the deceased Randi, asked the question, where does the line "Chariots of Fire" come from.

I answered its from a piece of verse in the Preface to William Blake's epic poem Milton, an illuminated copy of which adorns the bookshelf behind my computer.

Of course that dumb fry guy went on to say that it was titled "And did those feet," which of course it isn't.

That piece of verse has no title other than Preface to Milton.

Maybe I'm being pedantic.

But my wife was checking the wiki in order to prove me wrong.

She can't accept my word for anything. Not a thing.

I mean, it's not as if I'm an authority on William Blake or anything.

Doh.

Not surprisingly, getting back into Van Morrison always gets me back into Blake.



I don't know what could connect them in my mind to the Nihilist Spasm Band, but there must be something.

[Hammer of Los]

...

Yeah I love Van the Man, into the Mystic.

And I loved the scarecrow, of course.

I am the Scare Crow!

Ahem.

But those lyrics from "I Lost my Heart to a Starship Trooper" have got to be the best evah!

I can't stop playin' it now, thanks again to JD.

I mean, I can't stop laughin' at it.

What a hoot!

Music;

Here we go again.

On planet rock.

The Rock Pool.

Who Will Let this Knot Unravel?

And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue
