The Panther Burns, also known as Tav Falco's Panther Burns, were formed by Falco and Alex Chilton in Memphis in the late '70s, and in 1981 they were the Fall's labelmates at Rough Trade. Their mission was to bring roots music--particularly, but by no means limited to, rockabilly and blues--together with punk and avant-garde sensibilities. panama ready made eyelet curtains fuchsiaThe Panther Burns recorded a song called "Blind Man" on their debut album, Behind the Magnolia Curtain; cream eyelet curtains argos"Blind Man had earlier been recorded by Muddy Waters, although I am not sure of the ultimate source (the song is not the same as "Blind Man Blues," which Muddy also recorded). curtain shop prudhoeThe song has the repeated refrain "Lord, have mercy on me." curtains edgeley stockport

The Panther Burns also covered Leadbelly's "Bourgeois Blues" on the same album, which the Fall were to record for 2003's Are You Are Missing Winner, and the Fall did "Funnel of Love" (originally popularized by Wanda Jackson), which the Panther Burns recorded in 1995 for Shadow Dancer, on Your Future Our Clutter in 2010. The bassline closely resembles "Witness" by Roots Manuva. According to Jim Watts on the Fall Online Forum: MES has claimed that this is about blind British Labour Party politician David Blunkett (via Reformation): It is difficult to explain all of the lyrics as being about Blunkett in any straightforward way, but because of MES's statement this is the jumping off point for any interpretation. Certain parties insist that the song is at least partly about Masonic intiation, in which the candidate is blindfolded and made to kneel on one leg at the altar. There is a certain elegance to this theory, which identifies a formal symmetry in the power relations displayed in the song: Blunkett, the blind politician, as Home Secretary initiated anti-terrorism measures which earned him the enmity of proponents of civil liberties (a concern he seems to have contemptuously dismissed; despite his relatively left-leaning background, he was one of many politicians who veered to the right on civil liberties in the face of the terrorist threats of the first decade of

The candidate in a Masonic initiation, on the other hand, is not genuinely blind, but is blindfolded and helpless. According to R. Totale on the Fall online forum: In a reversal of the Masonic ritual, Blunkett, the blind man, occupies a position of power while the sighted protagonist asks for mercy, the politician who cannot see compelling the hobbled pedestrian to look at him, his own power of sight betraying him into weakness before the sightless one. Sight is traditionally figured as a capacity or a potency, but here it is an impotent potency, the capacity to be dominated. The politician's incapacity in a certain way makes him invulnerable. Blunkett reverses the polarity of sight, turning blindess into strength and sightedness into weakness, just as Christ reverses the polarity of violence, turning the water of martyrdom into the wine of salvation and, ultimately, world domination in the form of the triumphant Church. Most explicitly, work ("Do you work hard?", the "New Puritan"'s credo turned into an accusation by the singer of "Chicago Now!", here becomes a politician's unrefusable demand, ratifying economic coercion with guilt) is now the utmost weakness, since those who do so, do so for those who do not, as Marx recognized long ago.

To work is to literally create the world--and in that sense work is power as such--and to effectively lose one's power over it in the same blow. This is a surprising enough message in a song by a lyricist whose contempt for Marxism has always been paired with the glorification of work, in fact for whom the two have often been inseparable ("Communists are just part time workers"). And yet, "Blindness" is not so much a departure from the ethos of the "New Puritan" as it is a continuation and broadening of the latter's themes: "New Puritan"'s convolutions of disipline and decadence become the labyrinth of power and impotence through which the protagonist of "Blindness" blindly winds, but which the lyricist sees quite clearly. (Or is it the protagonist and not the lyricist who sees? MES may say more than he means here which is, after all, the goal of pretty much every Fall lyric.) 2. "What About Us" from the same album (Fall Heads Roll) and the same Peel session (#24) begins: "Well, leg-end...living/We are living leg-ends/The living leg-end."

In both cases the word is pronounced with a hard 'g,' like "leg end." Henry Cow's first album is called Leg End (or, depending on the source, Legend); the Fall covered Henry Cow's "War" on Middle Class Revolt, a song not from Leg End but from their follow-up, In Praise of Learning. This is probably a punning reference to the line, "I was on one leg." 3. In March, 2004, Smith broke both his leg and his hip when slipping on some ice, and toured in a wheelchair for awhile (which he would do again in 2009). 4. This lyric first appeared in "Chicago, Now!" in 1990. 5. Cavalry is mounted artillery. Calvary was the mount in Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified. The hill is called Golgotha ("place of the skull") in the Gospels; the Latin calque Calvariae Locus is the proximate origin of the English "Calvary." 6. Hebden Bridge is a town in West Yorkshire. Apparently it was culturally very isolated, at least in the early part of the 20th century, to the extent that residents had a distinctive accent that was not shared even by people from neighboring towns.

7. I have been unable to confirm this. 8. See note 5 above. 9. This echoes Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner": "Water, water everywhere/Nor any a drop to drink" (thanks to Clay for pointing this out).=Jim Watts, who had been the bass player in the Fall, but was playing guitar by the time this session was recorded (Steve Trafford plays bass on the song). "Blindness" does not, in fact, feature what is usually termed "walking bass." 11. Aristotle Onassis was a Greek shipping magnate who was perhaps most famous for being Jacqueline (Bouvier) Kennedy's second husband. As for James Fennings, I am indebted to Smudger from the Fall online forum for unearthing this (see also note 1 above): 12. There is a Moscow Road in Greater Manchester. 13. Or maybe "James Seymour," as the Lyrics Parade has it. Jane Seymour was the Queen of England for about a year in the 16th century, as the third wife of Henry VIII. There is also a famous English actress named Jane Seymour who was in Live and Let Die, among other things.
