The Kindness of Strangers, the title of which is presumably a play on the early Bad Seeds song "Stranger than Kindness"... - more likely both are references to the famous last line of A Streetcar Named Desire: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers", which Cave would certainly have been aware of. WP articles shouldn't include unsourced speculation. --Calair 14:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Is the scene really calling this stuff post-punk? 70.48.103.67 (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Moron Tabernacle Choir

edit

Could we please get consensus on the correct Choir?

Moron Tabernacle Choir

Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Note Cave, Ellis and Graney's participation in the former. Also the reference to Murder Ballads.

I noticed someone incorrectly reverted an edit citing vandalism. No, it's not.

Death count

edit

The article states a death count of 64. I believe the correct number is 65, broken down like this:

  1. 4 (three children and wife)
  2. 2 (bartender and Billy Dilly)
  3. 1 (Henry Lee)
  4. 1 (the "lovely creature")
  5. 1 (Elisa Day)
  6. 23 (3 mentioned by name + 20 children) + 1 dog (not killed by Lottie). Notice the article says "over 25" - also incorrect.
  7. 1 (Mary Bellows)
  8. 20 (miners)
  9. 12 (townspeople, all mentioned by name)
  10. 0

This comes to a sum total of 65 (+ 1 poor dog). Unless anyone objects to this I will change it.
