James Joyce

Ronald Hill (rhill@pnet01.cts.com) posted an interview excerpted from
NETWORK, Canada's Entertainment Magazine, Feb/March 1990.  In it,
Maureen Littlejohn notes that Kate Bush echoes closely Molly Blume's
closing soliloquy in Joyce's _Ulysses_.  But... did you also know that
the Firesign Theater used that same speech in the end of their album,
"How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?"?
Of course, the effect is slightly *different*... the speaker is that
perpetual flimflam artist cum used-car salesman, Ralph Spoilsport...
I don't know if this one made it to CD, but it's definitely worth a
listen.

Helen (my Arkansan girlfriend) says that she found out about KB in Arkansas
in the first place, so there are surprises everwhere.  She would also like to
add that she's educated not a few Angelenos about Ms. Bush's music.  So
there.

(Wounded Arkansan pride, I suppose...)
