For someone who is so admittedly articulate, in interviews it's amazing how Van dyke can talk for several minutes without directly answering the  question posed to him.

Two minor observations:

(1) Brian talking about Surf's Up is as lucid and brilliant as I've ever read him.  His brain velcro definitely picked up some Van Dyke fluff along the way.

(2) Sheet music is outrageously untrustworthy.  Trust me.  Years of experience at Warner Chappell and Music Sales.  'We haven't got the official lyrics - just write down what you think it is' was a disappointingly common working procedure.  Cavalier stuff.

Boiled Egg, can you please explain a little more about this process?  I've always been curious how sheet music arrangements, lyrics, etc were prepared and assumed they originated with some basic material provided by the artist.  For BWPS in particular I've wondered if it originated from Darian's charts.

I've often wondered if Brian pointed Van Dyke in the direction of this poem by his childhood favourite, Edgar Allan Poe

Yes! My hunch is that Parks was similarly a Poe fanatic as most of his lyrics from that time period tend to be in that style.

Check out this line from The Coliseum:

"Here, where a hero fell, a column falls!"

Damn Poe and his acid alliteration.




Considering the "Pit & the Pendulum" reference, this seems like a reasonable hypothesis.
