Stevie Nicks read Poe, voraciously. Which kinda' explains a few things.
I never could dig it... just too dark. I tried to like Dickens, and did a little. I still refer to a few people I know as certain Dickens characters. Our IT guy at work for instance, that's Mister Fezziwig. There are others. Sometimes in a contentious meeting, I'll say something like;
"please sir, may I have some more?" to break the tension. Or at least get me excused from the meeting.
I've always been a James Thurber type. Which also explains a lot.
*the article in the original post is fascinating. I'm sending it to someone else now. (who in turn, will claim to have already seen it, and wonder what what took meeeee so long)
