Seymour’s Fat Lady

There isn’t anyone anywhere that isn’t Seymour’s Fat Lady. Don’t you know that? Don’t you know that goddam secret yet? And don’t you know — listen to me, now — don’t you know who that Fat Lady really is? . . . Ah, buddy. Ah, buddy. It’s Christ Himself. Christ Himself, buddy.

—J.D. Salinger, _Franny and Zooey_

_Franny and Zooey_ is one of my favorite novels of all time. And although there’s a Spanish pop/surf/New Wave band called Seymour’s Fat Lady, I’ve decided that I really can’t let go of the name. So there you go.
