In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
109. They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a Sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say, "Certainly Signs are in the power of Allah. But what will make you realize that if Signs came, they would not believe?"
110. We shall turn to their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance, We shall leave them in their trespasses to wander in distraction.
(The Cattle 6:109-110)

The Lagerfeld Connection
The news of Karl Lagerfeld's passing away is certainly very sad. I have always admired the man and his work, especially in making Chanel be and remain so Chanel. Even though I knew we would never meet, I have always wondered what his opinion of me was. Which is a rare desire for me, since I normally ignore other people's opinions of me. Any connection between me and Karl Lagerfeld is and always has been third party. It began somewhere around 2002, during a most embarrassing and humiliating period in my life, so much that I won't discuss it here. It's a good thing www.mysteryrockband.com has no record nor archive! I was a bigger freak show then than I am now. I guess I amused him somewhat. Since that period is over, I thought he had lost interest in me. If what I did were to be any sort of trend then he would have taken notice, as was his life and work. But then maybe he did notice. Whatever the case, I will probably never know now what he thought about the "voices of the dead" that Allah gave me. From Allah is our origin and to Allah is our return.
