"Mr. Verlaine's  lyrics generally don't come across with any clarity in
concert, and that was the case on Sunday. On record, with a lyric sheet,
they're clear, and have put off some people with their artiness. This writer
finds them a true reflection of Mr. Verlaine's character and interesting in
themselves, but there can be no question that the band's rewards are
primarily musical"

I already knew about the 'Cairo' title since Howard owns the acetate of
'Adventure', but regarding the idea that ['The Dream's Dream']

>100 years ago walking around Cairo ..

This makes perfect sense, but I have never seen any reference to this 'idea'
in any TV interviews or reviews.  Anyone know the source?
