Random Thought hit me today (not spoilery)
So, I was hit with this thought today when looking at a photograph of the inside of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. I am so fixated on the titles of both shows being from David Bowie songs that I totally have missed this:
"Earth to Earth, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust",
(From the Internet) The phrase comes from the funeral service in the Book of Common Prayer, and it is based on Genesis 3:19.
Each church of the Anglican Communion has its own version of the Book of Common Prayer. In the current American version, it appears on page 485 (Burial Rite 1) and on page 501 (Burial Rite 2) in a prayer that is said by the priest as earth is ceremonially cast on the coffin:
The Full Prayer is: "In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to Almighty God our brother ; and we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless him and keep him, the Lord make his face to shine upon him and be gracious unto him and give him peace. Amen."
That really plays into all the theories that they all, or Gene are dead and it certainly plays into Keats's comments about "unearthing" Gene....
Everyone else may be already on top of this, but I haven't really focused on this...
