| I really like this band but it's kind of annoying that Aaron Weiss says this is based on John Donne's poem when the title is taken directly from Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five." (It was on a tombstone in the novel.) The compass part is correct from the older poem, but the title is not based on Donne's work at all. It is word for word from another work. I get that this is a religious band and Vonnegut was notoriously and at times extremely cynical about religion, so maybe that's why he just chose to credit the Christian poet, not the atheist novelist. Still doesn't seem right. | |
