Cleo: Give me some music; music moody food of us that trade in love.
Quoth Cleopatra of Shakespeare's "Antony & Cleopatra."
I am finding the musty old volumes which my father acquired from a Boston public library auction, the complete works of aforementioned playwright/poet, add just the sort of antiquity needed in my modern day. Without their influence Of Montreal love songs, particularly "Keep Sending Me Black Fireworks" & "The Party's Crashing Us Now," would not have drawn parallels to ancient tomes.
I have been thinking how fantastically raucos it would have been if Of Montreal had performed at The Globe Theater. Barnes would certainly have held the most temperamental audience captive. Imagine the throng of debauched revelers! Filthily glorious!
