HEMLOCK STONES:

	"'Matilda Briggs was not the name of a young woman,
	Watson,' said Holmes in a reminiscent voice.  'It was
	a ship which is associated with the giant rat of Sumatra,
	a story for which the world is not yet prepared.'"

		-from _The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire_

clavazzi@nyx.cs.du.edu (The_Doge) continues, Actually, there are a fair number of Canonical references in "Giant Rat".... For example: "Violet Dawn Dudley" refers to the fact that some of the more interesting heroines in the Canon are named Violet ("The Solitary Cyclist" is one example). And then there's the frequent use of the name "Moriarity" in various guises. And the fact that Watson had just returned from the Afghani wars when he met Holmes.. Bill Johnson writes, What B+W Sherlock Holmes movie with Basil Rathbone had an opening sequence strikingly like the one which opens the Hemlock Stones mystery, where he is playing his violin while his asssistant is trying to find food, and both are discussing a case they just finished? John Burkardt answers, >The movie you saw was "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", starring >Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. >Holmes was plucking his violin, trying to find a frequency that would >disturb flies, reasoning that if he found such a frequency, he could >have a simple fly repeller. >The movie was made about 1939, I believe.

HOPI:

I know that the Native Amnerikan stuff on Electrician

derived from the three or four boises from I da know (Proctor stayed 

behind with his show) spending time living amongst the Hopi in Hopiland 

(Arizona & New Amerikanexprexico). They brought back material for a 

serious documentary and information which was accurate. The legend of 

the Great White Brother is moralistic, but it is moralistic to the Hopi 

who *had* (may still be if they haven't lost hopi) welcomed the Anglo's 

arrival as a Sign, sign here. 


I bet you think the character Mudhead derived from the Archie 

comicbooks. Of course and not so. Mudhead is a very important (& my 

favorite) Kachina. Mudhead is the last Kachina during pageants. He is 

the Clown who provides comic relief. Kachina have multiple layers of 

meaning. I know the one where Mudhead is the living embodiment of the 

warning against brother-sister incest, less a baby with a bizarre head 

pop out (of the sodium shop). Phil Proctor said that at a deeper level, 

Mudhead appears at the end of ceremonies to mock what has gone on 

before. He admonishes children not to believe anything they have just 

been taught by adults and especially not to respect the opinions of 

tribal leaders, these leaders are out of touch. Phil came up with this 

great phrase, "Their leaders have heads of mud while our's

have feet of clay." Wouldn't that be a great album title "Heads of mud, 

feet of clay," huh? And what a paradocs in that it is the elders putting 

on the ceremony. Kinda like Principal Pooproctor "fuck you'ing" the kids 

back. Anyway, the high school madness plot is derived from this and

other legends. If you found Electrician too moralizing it has to do with

technique, not message. Dwarf taught the same things but infiltrated our

consciousnesses with only 10% of the effect "visible" at the time.
