On a totally different tip, any Jesus & Mary Chain fans out there? I've been reading the Da Vinci Code (with a heavy pinch of salt of course, thankfully I know a lot of it is bullshit) for some weeks now and it's piqued my curiosity in many ways...so was trawling through hundreds of books on similar subjects on Amazon when I realised the significance of JAMC's name...interesting as the Reid brothers put the band together in 83-84 but i'm sure the first of so many books of hokum, 'The Holy Blood & the Holy Grail' came some time later
The theme of a roayl bloodline traceable to Jesus is far older than the books that popularised it in the 80s.
Now we need Ray's input, and inevitable x$x cross-references. Off the top of my head, as well as being a much-improved monthly music magazine, 'Q' is the name of a 'novel' by Luther Blissett (which i've not yet read but own) who has some kind of Michael K connection (don't we all?), as well as the name of a missing gnostic 'gospel' according to Mr Daniel Brown and others. Curiouser & curiouser...
READ IT! 'Q' is an awesome book, the best one I read last year. The connection to Michael K is simply that Luther Blissett and Michael K are both multiple personalities. But aren't we all. MK
