Ochema, Dr. Crippen, Undine - Who are they all?

 


It's too bad I couldn't ask the boys in person (- at least not for all of it! -) because they could probably have explained it much better... So for most I had to investigate on my own.
The ones I haven't mentioned are the ones I have no idea about... But if you know...

"11th Song"


"7 AM"
Cassandra is a figure out of ancient Greek mythology. Apollo, who loves her but is denied, changes her ability to foresee things to a curse: she shall always predict the truth but never be believed.

"Home"


"Breakfast At Tiffany's"
Tiffany & Co.!

"The Kandinsky Prince"
Vasily Kandinsky was a Russian abstract painter (1866-1944). I had found a web page about him - but it seems it has been closed down again.

"Brownie" is a friend of DBS' who works for RainMaker Records.

Brighton - still I know you know where England is!

"Home"
New Orleans

"Red Light"
Denton


"Byzantium"


"Pullman, Washington"
Pullman, Washington

"Byzantium"
Sella is a water spirit from a poem by someone named William C. Bryant, I think.

Undine is a water spirit as well, from a story by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, who can get a soul becoming a human being, but also becomes mortal by that.
You can read a (though not very good) translation of it here - warning: it's quite long!

"Becoming Light"
The Zelem, or Golem (Jewish), refers in medieval Hebrew to a magically created body out of dust or to the spiritual body that differs from the soul and is formed out of the air of Paradise.

As far as I know, Ochema is another word for "God", but I'd certainly like to know which language it is...

"Cherry Lime Rickey"
A Cherry Lime Rickey is an old Southern drink (cite: Todd).

"Dr. Crippen"
Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was a dentist from London who poisoned his wife. He was arrested on board of a ship from Liverpool when he attempted to escape to Quebec with his lover, and was hanged on Nov 23, 1910.

"William H. Bonney"
William H. Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, was born on Nov 23 (no, this isn't a misprint, it's really the same date on which Dr Crippen was hanged half a century later!), 1859, in New York. It is said that he committed his first murder at the age of 12 when a man insulted his mother. Later he went west, shot everyone he did not like and became the leader of a group of desperados. A former friend of his named Pat Garrett hunted him and shot him in July, 1881. Until then Billy the Kid had murdered 23 people.

Illuminatus: I think I have found the final solution, there is something about a group of people who managed to intrude the Pentagon's computer and data, and to manipulate it. Which showed that the safest (computer) network of the world can never be safe enough not to be looked through...
Thanks anyway to everyone who tried helping me out!!

"Hell In Itself"
