Icon Meme

Last seen with [livejournal.com profile] emony :

I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

It is my beloved Philip, but the lines are from a song called 'The Hero And The Madman', which you may remember me yammering on about at Sunderland because it was there that I bought the album it's on, Vagabonds of the Western World. Actually, it was bought in HMV near the Monument in Newcastle, but you know what I mean.

ANYWAY! The song has a spoken introduction and narration by none other than Legendary DJ David 'Kid' Jensen, and the choruses are by the band. And the refrain goes: "Are you the herooooo? Or are you the madman?"

Well gosh, that was much longer than it needed to be! Contextualise is indeed a word, btw

It does sound vaguely familiar, yes. I'm glad to hear contextualise is a word too.
