OCD ALERT!!! Re: Interlude: If James Wood Supposes...

That'll be a great title for a really thorough look:
ATD, the OCD read (I was already thinking of that before anyway)
(we'll get Adrian Monk to host...)

hmm...CoL49 - the Enochian Read may prove differently...

It's not that I'm embarrassed about going all James-Wood on
Rod Stewart's lyrics*, or even about going all "art-for-art's-sake" on
Paul Mackin** and James Wood - but I do have some personal
exigencies, nothing worrisome, & will be posting minimally,
if at all, for a few days...talk amongst yourselves...

*but they're so execrable.  If he had bandmates to say,
"Look Rodney, tha's drivel" instead of employees, managers,
publicists to say "Yes Mr Stewart, what a wonderful line,
'don't say a word my virgin child' no of course it doesn't smack
of pedophilia", "Yes Mr Stewart, what a cunning image, the
woman borrowing a dime to call her mother before an
episode of meaningless sex"; "Oh certainly, you must
put an unresolved reference to a big-bosomed lady with
a Dutch accent into a song of eternal devotion to, um,
what or who _is_ the object of devotion in "you're in
my heart you're in my soul" again?" ...I say, I say,
if he had bandmates, that marvelous, wonderful voice
could wrap around some words worthy of singing...

**was actually trying to be friendly...hadn't heard from
"Mackin the Knife" for awhile...

PS I wonder if anyone else has listened to Rod Stewart's
"The Rhythm of my Heart" (which I do like a bit)
and experienced it morphing into the Browning poem
about the dying bishop...
"...the rhythm of my heart
doo doo dee doo doo doe
and see God made and eaten all day long..."
