Quidam

Harlan Ellison is awsome.

Anyway, Quidam is pronounced "kee-dam", the first syllable like the word key.

I was sort of confused, cause quidam is really latin for, in general "a thing or person", which sort of fits with the Cirque du Soleil show (in the show, Quidam is a tall headless man who, in my opinion, kind of represents anonymity and "the everyman"). And if it were latin, it would be pronounced "kwee-dam", as opposed to the more french first version.

That's when I remembered that I actually owned the album (stupid, stupid). They pronounce it the first way on the last track.

Oh, and Cirque du Soleil rocks, both figuratively and literally. See them if you can.
