I'm just on halfway through reading Capricornia and I must say it's a =
very well written story and hard to put down. I've been wondering what =
Jim's original vision for the Oils version of Capricornia might have =
been like. If he was going to make it into a movie with a soundtrack it =
could have been a classic epic like Pink Floyd's The Wall. Imagine The =
Wall cut down to a 40 min CD!
Some of the album lyrics make more sense after reading the book. For =
example A Crocodile Cries is a chapter title (I read that chapter but =
didn't get the relevance). O'Cannons garrison is after a character =
called Tim O'Cannon whose garrison is his family home. His kids have got =
army ranks and he flies the federal flag out the front. I'd like to =
thank the Oils for introducing me to such a great book.

Nathan.
