[edit] Holy Grail

The article says the song "Holy Grail" is "ostensibly" about Napoleon's March on Moscow. Though Mark Seymour has said he was inspired by this, there's nothing "ostensible" about it - apart from a reference to snow. The song "ostensibly" mentions the quest for the Holy Grail (obviously) and the Crusades, and it is clear from the first and last verses that it refers to a personal/spiritual journey. Certainly it doesn't appear to be the account of a Napoleonic soldier!!!--Jack Upland 00:36, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll fix it :) "inspired by" then Graham 14:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Seymour

I've noticed that Mark Seymour redirects here. However, he went on after Hunters disbanded and forged a solo career with a few hits. Don't they belong on a page about the guy. People often say Hunters & Collectors = Mark Seymour, but does it also follow the other way around ? And surely if his brother Nick Seymour gets a full article for being little more than a bass player in a band then Mark who wrote and played all of the songs should get a separate mention, especially given that he has been in the news a lot lately due to his public court dealings with his former wife - all completely unrelated to the band which he was once a frontman for --Biatch 08:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
