John Lurie was a big figure in the punk scene, until he was struck with an early case of chronic Lyme disease.

Presently he heard the deep baying of the hound, and soon the enemy appeared, under a bright moon.

I called to him loudly, in the vain hope he might look back, as though at a time like this a hound would turn from the trail.
