Apropos of nothing: Whenever I listen to "Rocket's Tail" on "Sensual World," I'm reminded of a James Thurber cartoon. No caption. A dog-like body with a human head on each end. The male head is gazing up at a star in the heavens, and the female head is looking at a flower growing in front of her. I'm not suggesting any kind of influence, but the song always reminds me of the cartoon. Kate's character can't understand why the male character wants to fly like the rocket, and there's that great line about "home to the quickening ground." Just wanted to throw that into the void. Thanks for listening. Franklin
