I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but if you live in the US you may have seen the name of the purported author of the lyrics to Thick as a Brick in the news lately. Specifically in the monumental Supreme Court decision (Bostock v. Clayton County) announced Monday 6/15/2020. This is a landmark ruling in favor of gay rights under Title VII of the 1964 civil rights act. Gerald Bostock (of TAAB fame) was 8 in 1972, meaning he would have been born in 1964 (same year as the civil rights act). Coincidence??? ;-) The plaintiff's full name is Gerald Lynn Bostock. Surely, Lynn (pronounced "lin") is just a clever shortening for "Little Milton". I haven't been able to find out how old Gerald Lynn Bostock is - if he were also born in 1964, we'd have to look into Ian's prognosticative powers (cue twilight zone music). Or maybe he was born in 1972 or later and named after our dear "Little Milton". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bostock_v._Clayton_County,_Georgia paywall: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2020/06/15/fired-after-joining-gay-softball-league-gerald-bostock-wins-landmark-supreme-court-case/-J

“The long, seven-year journey I’ve had, it’s well worth every ache and pain, I didn’t ask for this, but it needed to be done.” Gerald Bostock
