I don't mean to besmirch a church (although I do love that rhyme), but while walking to work after dropping my kids off at school the other day, I passed by The First Moravian Church of New York City at 30th Street and Lexington Avenue and was rather struck by the placard they'd hung on their notice board (see above). Don't get me wrong -- I love a bit of Bach (as far as I'm concerned "Toccata & Fugue" is absolutely fuckin' METAL!). This isn't about the church, nor is it about the celebrated Teutonic maestro. But take a look at that poster above, won't you? Do you see something weird therein? Take a closer look (click on it to enlarge).
Am I imagining things, or do the white, powdered ringlets of Johan Sebastian's wig seem to seep through the streets of Manhattan in a manner that disquietingly resembles certain indelible images like this one?
I'm not suggesting that was the desired intent, but it's a bit creepy, no? Or am I just seeing things?
Discuss.
