DQ and Jessie - I don't know , but like DQ I am not listening now, but did today to No Hotel, and at the mention of Dr. Suzuki, I'm pretty sure what *I* heard was a "boo"-ing.
DQ - while you're on-line when u read this, I have a Q for you:
Don Quixote - what a fascinating way to definately come by your handle with honours ! I had no idea all along you were a prof ! I should read more profiles more often.
Just goes to show that some posts here and there doth not reveal what we sometimes presume to be ( or not to be LOL) the total person behind the theme-based forum posts. Interesting. But, still.. the Q
A question for you DQ within your chosen ken: Do you think the poem on the back of the DQ album signed "gl" is in keeping with Cervantes' thoughts, means of expression, "feel", I am not quite sure how to ask - you're the pro !
And moreover, does the song DQ reflect some noteworthy aspects , small or any, of the book ?
Said otherwise, do the lyrics of DQ the song reflect GL's noted level of studying his subject when writing of it, i.e. The Wreck, CRT vis-a-vis Pierre Berton's book ? Its my impression that Gord does his homework historically. Thoughts ?
I have to admit I have only read the book about 1/3 the way, in High School. Assigned reading had no chance with me in High School . College - different, because my ability to feed my family hung in the balance. I'd of read it all the way then - should now !
Sorry I have strayed from the thread on the "sound(s)" in No Hotel. Weird how many different things we hear. Anyone else hear the "boo" when GL speaks of meeting up with Dr. Suzuki ? No political commentary implied or invited by the question, only the sound, in keeping with the thread !
Thanks
