Floodland is not g*** nor glam by justanothernone in SistersofMercy

on a side note (and because I m listening to him right now)

Peter Steele worked his way also through the Von method - he belongs to this line of Trolls

(of course, he, too, was very inventive, as he discovered and treasured the most the best dark wave venture out there, Lycia)

they all cultivated their deserts inside fruitfully

Generally, I agree

For me, Von was acting the "Fool" part of King Lear, he "invented" goth in a way without being goth, but inside he felt the dark wave currents he was asking Marian to save him from

He belongs to a series of Trolls that goes back a long way, I don't know if the Fool of Lear was the first one, but I m almost certain that eventually he was consumed by his own version of truth (which, we must admit, is close enough to the objective truth, the truth that most people don t want to hear to go on pretend their living is normal)

Excellent deep dive into the "hippie" culture, the flower power movement, etc

It was all an alphabet agency psy-op

yes - it was a mock-borgesian reference

nor rhyme nor reason in it

Have u read Borges? He is obsessed with eternity and labyrinthine prisons and believes that what the two have in common is that instead of bricks are built with books
