In the Ian Hamilton biography a woman whose name escapes me mentions
meeting JDS at a party. She said he ticked her off a little because
everything she said was interpreted by him as a cliche. She told him she
loved walking in the rain. He replied that no one *really* likes walking in
the rain. It's just a cliche.Then he asked her to elope. No kidding! That
crazy sonuvabitch (:
