Howard Hughe's reference is based on a real guy. He used to dress with that hat and spats around 42nd street. The cigarrette ad was still there when they wrote that song. It used to blow smoke out at regular intervals. Carpet Crawlers; was that song a description of Heroin withdrawel? The religous reference, I can see now that you pionted it out how that could affect someone brought up in those circumstance's. My wife went to Catholic school and she is still afraid of the Nuns! Boy that stuff last's ehh.? You have to picture what the City was like then, every square inch was covered with spray can writing. The subway's were bizarre, it really was like entering another world. The Heavy Rock driven song's were definately Gabriels, Phil Collins I think was the mellowing influence, Almost like the split between Foxtrot and it's heavier sound and Nursery Chryme. Wind And The Wuthuring was really the bands last album together right?
