A few days after I posted a Meaning of Lila, John Forgetta published a slightly different version. I can't decide if the new one is an improvement; I do realise that by changing just a couple of words at the end he changes Boyd from fetishist to philanthropist. I did think the former was out of character, but so is the latter.
Also, nothing to do with CD Saturday but Shoe did a version of one of my favourite all-time puns and here there's no doubt: the Mother Goose and Grimm version is better.

Clearly, Mother Goose and Grimm know what we all know, that a pun is the lowest form of pastry.
