So, has anybody pondered the meaning behind the
name Niandra Lades? I'm quite new to John's music, so
maybe this is old news, but if you scramble the letters
you can get the word:<br><br>Aladdin
Saner<br><br>...which could be in reference to the David Bowie song
"Aladdin Sane" (John lists Bowie as a major influence).
Anyway, "Niandra" is a real name (uncommon, but still
real) and "Lades" is a verb and while I haven't
researched too far into this, there's probably some hidden
and obsucre refercne in that too. <br><br>Just
thought I'd let you know and see if anybody else has made
this discovery (I should add that my girlfriend found
the whole Aladdin Saner connection, not me, heh)
