This storm is called "quotation"

[gtaylor@vme.heurikon.com (Gregory Taylor)]

That thing at the end of my post comes from the late and now
canonized critic Walter Benjamin, whose "Art in the Age of
Reproduction" is well over 50 years old and was dead on then
as now. Some woman named Laurie Anderson ah...."borrowed" his
text and mentioned him in the dedication of the song. It appears
in "the dream before" from Strange Angels, but she's opened her
shows with it long before.

revolution/in the look of a child's face/in the silence of the dinner 
table/in the stillness of disgrace/greg taylor/heurikon/608-828-3385
