Well, I knew that. All of it, in fact, except for the Irish
connection.
My "interestingly" refers to the fact that a porn star should live in
Crotch Street. Makes me think of a CD we have with bawdy songs from
Purcell's time (the seventeenth century), called "The Musitians of
Grope Lane". Apparently, "Grope Lane" or sometimes "Gropecuntlane" is
a common name for the red-light street in medieval and renaissance
English towns.
