haha, yeah...but one of his latest song is about a "green mountain" so he's getting there
I know Dylan's first (!) wife read a lot of poetry about the goddess and esoteric stuff.... |

He dumped her so long ago. Is she still bitter? |

I don't think so, she was very reclusive and a special lady. She's been seen at some of his shows, and I guess she stills sees him from time to time. I mean they had 4 kids together. I've always liked her even though I don't know her...go figure |

I concur with the others re Master & Margarita � a great piece of work
Other books I�ve read on the recommendation of or in connection with the stones in particular keith:
Lenny Bruce�s books in particular � �How to Talk Dirty and Influence People� � as some may recall I noticed tthat the line from �Little T&A� � �the pool�s in but the patio aint dry� is a direct quote from a Lenny Bruce routine
�The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire� � one I�ve started but not finished � now I just pick it up at random �it�s so long
�Reach for the Sky� � biography of Sir Douglas Bader (Fighter pilot who lost both legs in plane accidents and kept on flying � one of Keith�s own heroes)
A.Crowley�s �Diary of a Drug Fiend� (At least I think that�s the title � it�s over 20 years since I read it)
And also this short story the name of which I can�t recall � it may be an E.A.Poe � about this guy who becomes �withdrawn� and reclusive as a result of too much �white powder� � anyway, one day the guy who lives down stairs from him notices this black stuff dripping through the ceiling into his room from the room above � they investigate to find that the �recluse� had turned into a big pool of black ooze
and I�d already read quite a deal on the history of WWII � particularly the European theatre � �The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich� is required reading in this field
Also, after I heard Keith was in a movie based on the book, I eventually located a copy of James M.Cain�s �Past All Dishonour�

There's a Poe story called "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" that has a similar denoument, SIA, but the cause is hypnotism. Perhaps you are thinking of "Cool Air" by HP Lovecraft, which was a riff on the Valdemar story0? I think that has most of the elements you describe, but it's been a while!
"The Red Death held illimitable dominion over all, Ronnie!"

Did anyone here read Burrough's Naked Lunch?
Actually, it's more a Marianne-book (she mentions it all the time in her autobio), but I suppose Mick and Keith must have read it too.
It's a strange book : the chapters don't follow each other chronologically, it's more like several layers of the same kind of situation...Plenty of sex and drugs, and some funny quotes.
I didn't like it that much, but I suppose that's partly because plenty of writers or film directors have since then ripped off the most impressive scenes or quotes.

Naked Lunch is important and iconic, but the Soft Machine is a much better book. |

" Naked Lunch is important and iconic "
See " Steely Dan "
" A group named after a character in a book that references a woman's sexual aid Ronnie -- Go Figure ! "

I liked Burroughs' "Junky." I started reading "Naked Lunch," but got bored with it...will read it again soon. I just finished both of Jan Kerouac's autobiographies. They were great. I just started on Carolyn Cassady's "Off the Road"--so far, so good. |

Everyone's talking about "the Da Vinci code" |
|
|
| glencar |
Not in a positive way, I'm sure. The reviews for DaVinci have been scathing. |
|

| Pattie |
I don't know if I wanna read it. It seems a bit I don't know ....fuzzy? |

nasty, i checked out the i'view with keith where i read about this story - it's by Arthur Machen - entitled "The White Powder"
btw/ another book with a stones connection is Dickens "Our Mutual Friend" featuring the character of Macawber better known around here as one of keith's telecasters |
