A few days ago I finished re-reading the entire "Nine Stories"... When I first read it I read it in English, and I remember thinking that Teddy and DDSBP was no good... Recently I bought a Danish translation, and this time around I loved DDSBP... I´ve never really tried to analyze these stories, I just liked the atmosphere I felt in them... But being on this list has made me more conscient about certain things (and I want to thank you all for that)... For instance - whenever feet was mentioned (and that is quite a lot) I kept thinking about the discussion we had on that... One subject that has always interested me, especially in the Glass-stories, are the religious stuff... I´m not very religious myself, but still... Rick wrote: > I love DD Smith, too.

I have an edition where the same pic is etched 8 times in the vinyl on the b-side... Paul also produced a short film based on his work, and wrote the score for that... The film is called "Daumier´s Law"... Abra, Beatle-fan
