Pearls Before Swine's musical setting of W.H. Auden's "Footnote"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6krkVLzqH4

Not quite a significant song, but I was fascinated by a contemporary group writing music for a poem whos author was still alive and who appeared in my textbook.

Rapp went on to be a lawyer, but I liked Pearls Before Swine. They really did not tour, but maybe tht added to their mystique.
