What is this, <I>Cricket Magazine</I> all of the sudden? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I figure that DMN's title is funny on both references. I can't believe that even their arts staff would be unaware of either/both Britten's and Budd's orientations.Murderfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220337199108444992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-70600170137919736162008-04-28T11:36:00.000-07:002008-04-28T11:36:00.000-07:00Ewf.

However, I wonder if this is a reference to Melville and not Britten. Having read "Billy Budd" and a lot of Melville's output, there is without doubt "more than a hint of homoeroticism" in his stories. <BR/><BR/>e.g. chapter 3 of Moby Dick when Ishmael is forced to sleep in the same bed with the cannibal, Queequeg. classic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-68152617225126446962008-04-27T16:11:00.000-07:002008-04-27T16:11:00.000-07:00Just for clarification, it must be said that Billy...Just for clarification, it must be said that Billy Bud is about a sailor named Billy Budd. However...<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think it's an H.M.S. Pinafore jab. Or maybe a Family Guy reference. Or an anti-war (via the Navy) slogan.Empiricushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629835829400843701noreply@blogger.com
