...Victoria Williams has long been something of a cult item, perhaps esteemed by other artists more than the general public - to wit the compilation "Sweet Relief," which featured her songs performed by an all-star roster of talent, including Pearl Jam and Lou Reed, and handily outsold her own records. On her own, however, the Louisiana-born singer/songwriter's loopy affect has sometimes been a distraction from her considerable talent.

Diderot, despite his great admiration of Chardin, thought the ray disgusting--but there's nothing to suggest that Chardin was repelled by those glistening pearl-pink guts or the lunar luster on the ray's skin, let alone that (like some modern writers) he saw in the hanging ray an analogy to public execution or even the Crucifixion...
