I happened to read some TS Eliot poems today while listening to Pixies "Trompe le monde" and I was struck by the similar predilection for submarine imagery in the early work of both Frank and of Eliot.No...mS Blast will shut me do
Helvete! got some virus again..ctfmcon.exe??..but what I was going to say was could TS Eliot maybe have listened to "Wave of mutilation" when he wrote "The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock"?
Brackish Boy are you crazy? Doolittle hadn't been released then - he would have only had the tracks from Surfer Rosa and Come On Pilgrim available at that time.
You mean Eliot DIDN'T regularly listen to albums from the future? There goes my theory that he based "The Hollow Men" on the XTC song "Scarecrow People"! And I could have sworn that he ripped off most of the poems in "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
I've reached 1000 posts / So I'm too cool to be in a cult.
