Anyway, that question was for the Sheikh. I should've quoted him, sorry.

That

I knew that line would be drawn. Sigh.
Someone should seriously bring me coffee and a scone. Now.

As long as it's not quartered.
I think you need a double.
Coffee, I mean.

Hey, I told you work was giving me homicidal urges. Everyone where I work is lucky I'm not completely a sociopath...

The other stuff distracted me...
I like the
Congregation album cover, but it doesn't give me the urge.

At least you don't have the fear

So he is putting down junk and coming on with tea. I take three drags, Jane looked at him and her flesh crystallized. I leaped up screaming "I got the fear!" and ran out of the house. Drank a beer in a little restaurant-- mosaic bar and soccer scores and bullfight posters-- and waited for the bus to town.
A year later in Tangier I heard she was dead.

Wrong the fear, but nice reference nonetheless.

Wrong? I was alluding to
my version of
the fear, not hers.
Just say no.

So, back to topic. I put on some John Cale, not one of his best albums, but it has one of my favorite songs of his:
I've been chasing ghosts and I don't like it
I wish someone would show me where to draw the line
I'd lay down my sword if you would take it
And tell everyone back home I'm doing fine
I was with you down in Acapulco
Trading clothing for some wine
Smelling like an old adobe woman
Or a William Burroughs playing for lost time
I was thinking about my mother
I was thinking about what's mine
I was living my life like a Hollywood
But I was dying on the vine
Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter
The troops, the celebrations in the sun
The authorities say my papers are all in order
And if I wasn't such a coward I would run
I'll see you when all the shooting's over
Meet me on the other side of town
Yes, you can bring all your friends along for protection
It's always nice to have them hanging around
I was thinking about my mother
I was thinking about what's mine
I was living my life like a Hollywood
But I was dying, dying on the vine

Didn't she do something with Death in Vegas?
