NP: featherless bipeds and whatnot

[Bled Welder]

One thing that is funny/interesting about this band The Cult (besides the
fact that if you crank it up a few hundred decibels they sound pretty
good), for me anyway, is that I was into them at the time, mid-late 80s,
for no conscious reason.   I had no sense for the irony of a guy called Ian
Astbury was singing about the American Indians.  I think I just liked his
voice, and the guitar.  But *now*, just looking back on it in the last day
or so, the album Love anyway has all this Sumerian and Egyptian symbology
of interstellar contact.  Could Ian of Oxford been conscious of this?
 Doubdtful, but possible.  Interesting anyway, to note.
