Wow, I should have queried you guys before: you turn up some great material! But my "commonly misinterpreted as rape" comment, Mick, refers to audience reaction and not to esoteric scholarly research -- to what Tony Barrand said in an encouraging email to my website (sorry, it's www.reenchantmentofsex.com): that he and John are often "accosted with this 'rape song' argument after singing 'The Two Magicians' . . . we don't sing it much anymore because in certain audiences it can cast the wrong mood" I'm quoting a bit from memory here (and I'm correcting his "mod" which I assume was a typo for "mood"). I'm also surmising that these "certain audiences" were often on college campuses where political correctness (and the cult of feminine victimhood)loom large. SO.... it's nice to know that the ballad is still so very much alive. (And also very nice to get some good networking tips; being targeting by porn search engines can get you down....)
