I was reminded of this timely song when discussing an odd 7th century burial at Norsborg with my friend Dr. Ing-Marie Back Danielsson. The buried individual has been murdered, which triggered the association.

Totally off-topic: the Planetary Society is planning a tour to western Asia Minor October 3-14 to view a meteor rain that will be most easily viewed at that meridian during its culmination. They usually plan such tours to pass places of great historical and cultural interest -in this case the great hellenistic and roman-era ruins of the region.
