[edit] merge Pompatus into this page?

The details of that page all return to this song, so it seems to me appropriate to merge the two articles. Please let me know if you disagree, I'll put up the appropriate merge tags in a couple of days if no one objects. Roehl Sybing 23:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I would leave as-is - the "pompatus" article clearly does not "all return to this song", instead it explicitly relates this song's use of the term to an earlier work - making the "pompatus" article the larger umbrella of information. Voideater 16:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maurice

Is the "Maurice" in this song and "Enter Maurice" based on Maurice (novel) by E. M. Forster? The novel was actually first published one year before "Enter Maurice" came out in 1972. After seeing that entry I'm wondering if it was a whole different kind of peach tree he was talking about than I thought. ;) But it would explain some of the "gangster of love" stuff and given the prejudices of the age perhaps sheds some light on the darker tone of Enter Maurice?
