Historic footnote:
ALSO . . . the business about the underpants and making a quilt out of them etc., well . . . it’s really being made (yes, right at this very moment) by
a lady artist in Lyons, Colorado named Emily James . . . and, as if that weren’t exciting enough, Ms. James insisted that all those lovely little under-
garments you donated at the concerts NOT BE WASHED, thereby maintaining some exquisite sort of organic miasma in the vicinity of the finished work
of art. She estimates it will take her a year to complete, and, when it’s done, she plans to exhibit it in galleries across the US.
