Wow! I've lived on Copeland St. for more than twenty-five years and
never once thought of Aaron. The things you can learn lurking and
listening. And the things you can't learn googling. Poor Aaron gets
his name spelled Copeland and Copland somewhat indiscriminately. It's
interesting how google has begun, in my practice anyway, to replace the
dictionary. It's often faster and usually closer to hand. But
mistakes multiply so fast in the interstices of the web that you
sometimes can't trust the information and you have to check ever more
sites looking for consensus. I typed in Aaron Copeland and netted a
variety of sites which seemed to use either spelling -- occasionally
even both on the same page. Eventually went to the Library of Congress
Music listings to set my mind at ease.
As to Sexy Addresses, I like the streets named after the Beat poets in
the area around the City Lights book store.
Ursula of Copeland St.
Ursula of Kerouac St.
Ursula of Rexroth Place
and so forth...
