<< 2. Look at the continuity of the songs on the disc: 2 references to Maine
 in Cagey Cretins and Astronomy, both describing the loneliness of the
 place.

There are no references to Maine in Astronomy...the line you're probably
thinking of is "silver scrapes in May."  And Cagey Cretins was written by
Richard Meltzer, not Pearlman.  (Although note that the liner notes to Secret
Treaties mention the Career of Evil, which Patti Smith wrote the lyrics
to...I wonder if the title was created by Pearlman and she used that as the
starting point for the song, or if Pearlman or whoever wrote the liner notes
just decided to stick that song title in there...).
