What about his association with a certain Rush album from the 1970s?

Is Wolfe a Rush fan?

I think we need to explore all possible angles.

> I do not believe specific species of vines mattered to Wolfe for this association one little bit. Dionysus was the God of the Vine.  Inhumi were, are, or become vines on Blue as well as Green in some way no one but Wolfe seems to understand. Done. When the Sileni drank wine they believed they were possessed by a spirit of that wine. When inhuma drink blood their children are possessed by the spirit of the person who gave the blood. The word inhuma comes from a word association between the bird and the designations for Dionysus. Quetzal performs many of the deeds from Dionysus's life.
