Kaksisa, then, is a star of the west (Sup. p. 122), and, remembering that the Euphratcan V. is the S.W., this is perfectly true of Siriits, which with us is a S.E. (=Euph. S.) star in January, a S. (=Euph. S.W.) star in February and March, and a S.W. star in April. The Tablet referred to broadly divides 24 stars into ' Stars of Akkad' (=E. and N.), and 'Stars of the West' (=W. and S.). But these positions practically apply equally well to Procyon. Kaksisa is further specially connected with June and July, and is said to rise 'in the days of storms (arid) heat.' Its rising at daybreak (i.e., its heliacal rising) is connected with the commencement of a north wind; and the heliacal rising of Sirius in connexion with various anciont religious observances is familiar. The final formal Euphratean schemo or chart of the heavens had been compiled prior to B.O. 2000; and, to tako a particular date, on July 10,11.0. 2000, Sirius, as seen from BabylOn, rose hcliacully and was only visible shortly before sunrise. It is a commonplace in the Classics that the /3opeu enjo-i'm, the aquilones etesiae, the 'periodical' N.W. (=iEuphratean N.) winds blow for so many days from the rising of, Sirius. Aratos, speaking of the days of the Lion, the sign of the month Duzu, says:--'These are the hottest pathways of the sun'; the ' days of heat' of the Tablet, On the wide sea then fall with sudden force Whistling Etesian blasts. Then do broad ships best suit the deep, and then May helmsmen keep the rudder to the wind.' (H. D. H9, 152-5.) These are the 'days of storms' of the Tablet, and Kaksisa, the Star of July, reminds us of the Homeric 'Star of Summer ...

“Teen Tragedy” songs were all the rage in the 1950’s. Songs like Jody Reynolds’ “Endless Sleep”, Mark Dinning’s “Teen Angel”, Ray Peterson’s “Tell Laura I Love Her”, and J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers’ cover of “Last Kiss”, not only climbed the charts, but would decades later inspire Robert Dwight “Buddy” Brown to compose a Rock Opera that was “one big Teen Tragedy song.” Robert Dwight Brown had previously written the lyrics, found a Blues guitarist to compose the music, and local theater singers to sing on his revolutionary 2-disc 30 song Blues Opera, Satan’s Preacher Man. His follow-up recording, Teen Death Angel, would unfortunately languish without any music for years until he transformed it into a coming-of-age novel, not unlike the movies American Graffiti and Stand By Me.Taking the archetypes of the cowlicked nerd, the girl-next-door, and the greaser from the wrong side of the tracks, Buddy Brown spins a yarn that weaves from prose into song lyrics and back into prose and into lyrics again, composing the tapestry that is unique: Teen Death Angel, a rock opera without any music. Buddy Brown is hopelessly in unrequited love for Sarah Sue, the girl-next-door, who is smitten with Johnny Angel, a greaser from the wrong of side of the tracks. It is a tale as old as time... well, as old as the 1950’s.
