mercy street & Wikipedia

[xf]

I was working this evening and Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street" came on. I hadn't heard the song for years. Decided that I wanted to know what it is about; the lyrics say it's for Anne Sexton, the poet. Apparently she wrote a 2-act play called Mercy Street in the 1960s before she killed herself in 1974

Hmmm I shall endeavor to chek her out. Pete.. such a sensitive guy.

I can see it and not see the Wikipedia thing. I agree it does rock. It's not a primary source though. CNN does use it to some extent, and those librarians ain't playin', but it is to be taken with a grain of salt.

I do use LJ, but not a lot. For some reason you weren't listed as a friend; I fixed that. Have you been posting since 2006?

Where did you end up? I'm now living in Monterey.
