Wow. Unless something is wrong with my site, gaffa has been
_completely_ dead for several days now. Not even any
"rudi/homegrounder" blather (thank god)!

Just to break the silence:

In Babooshka, what do you think happens next?

The husband goes to the meeting and throws himself at this woman who
"reminds him of his little lady."

How does the wife react to this? Does she come to realize the cause of
the distance between her and her husband? Does she reveal herself?
Does she continue the charade? Does she become angry?

The final instrumental section is punctuated by sounds of breaking
glass. 

Is that the sound of breaking glass as two lovers throw wine glasses
into a fire?

Is it symbolic of some violence that occurs?

Breaking glass == breaking heart | broken futures | broken lives?

What do you think?
