Question the first:
I’m sure there’s other ways to find this, but I am a lazy, lazy girl, and I know one of you will have the answer in moments most likely.
This has bothered me for, literally, over a decade. At the end of Marilyn Manson’s first album is what sounds like a sample from a film, most likely old, I’m thinking Bette Davis or something as it’s a woman shrieking:
“Go home to your mother! Doesn’t she ever watch you?! Tell her, this isn’t some communist daycare center! Tell your mother I hate her. Tell your mother I HATE YOU!”
Husband and I had dragged this album out this past weekend for a trip down memory lane, and got into a discussion about what this is from - any ideas (the film is, oddly, not credited in the liner notes as far as I can tell)?
Question the second:
I asked this question on the SDMB many years ago and never received a reply, but I’ll try again. Andrew Bird has a song called “Not a Song About a Train” in which he sings the following:
“This is just a song about a book I read
about a guy who goes to see his ex-lover who’s now dead
and what goes through his mind, if anything at all
as her ashes blow across the cemetary wall…”
What book is this?
Thanks!
