Hopefully this now clears up the Horus/Horace thing, Horace being a poet, while the other three are all representative of different philosophies or ways of thinking. Plus even when performed live, he seems to be clearly not saying Horace.
That Santiago poster is gorgeous, btw.

Re: 2015 South American Tour
Yes, but Jack likes his plays on words and so do I, and while i know both the lyric and the poster are Horus, in the video it's Horace (Horace's Loans next door to Nietzsche's Liquors and Sigmund and Mum Groceries). So I'm going to continue liking the idea of Horus/Horace. Why can't it be both?

When I saw that in the video, I assumed it was a mistake on the artist's part, which is what I still think, though Jack seems to have let it go. It could be both, of course, but Horace makes zero sense in that context. So, just my opinion--not a play on words, only an error. Though of course, Sigmund would say there are no mistakes of that kind . . .

So, where's Neitzsche? (Did I spell it right this time?)
And what's Jack got against Carl Jung, huh?
