NM: I'm remined by a painting in the corner here, which is a sort of sa- tire of a Pre_Raphaelite painting, that I always have thought that those Victorian painters, the Pre-Raphaelites, were an influenece to the texture of your song writing. KB: Yes, yes. I think that was particularly in my very early teens I was very enchanted by the whole romance of it, yes. They find their way into songs, the imagery. I think that's what happens: something at- tracts you because of its imagery and you digest it and it comes up in a song. I think that's how artists work; they are like magpies, pick- ing up little bits of gold and storing them away. Who were the Pre-Raphaelites? (And how are they related to Breugal?) -Doug
