This is an extract from the British magazine 'Select' November 1990, where Grant talks about the
album 'The Last Days of Pompeii'.
He (Grant) compares 'Pompeii' to the Who's 'Quadrophenia'. It will not be played by a host of
stars, but by Nova Mob alone. The story itself is somewhat complicated.
"It starts out narrated by Pliny the Younger from Pompeii, OK?" He pauses, grinning. As the story
becomes more abstract, so his grin widens.
"He pretty much gives the general synopsis. The story starts with the fall of Nazi Germany, and
Wernher Von Braun doesn't wanna be captured. So he conjures up Wotan, the Nordic God of War,
and asks him, like, How the hell do I get out of this mess?"
Von Braun then escapes back in time in a V2 rocket, meets Pliny the Elder who takes him to Pompeii,
and ends up with King Pompedible (from the illustrated book, The Knave of Hearts) trying to control
his mind, much as Hitler had done before.
Grant takes up the bizarre story again...
"He slowly comes to the realisation that he's going to be manipulated, no matter what he does.
He leaves again, but it's not altogether clear how. It's more or less a transcendental thing
involving the eruption (of Vesuvius) - the eruption wakes him up from a sodium
pentathol-induced dream."
Weird - but different. Where does the concept come from?
"The theme of control, where he is being manipulated and controlled while being the smartest
person around."
Hope that makes everything crystal clear! Tony.
