Kaspar Hauser (30 April 1812 (?) 17 December 1833) was a German youth famous for his claim to have grown up in the total isolation of a darkened cell. Hauser's claims, and his death by stabbing, sparked much debate and controversy.
I wonder, what was her inspiration for this song? Could it have been the Werner Herzog film? I hope so! What an amazing, brilliant and haunting meditation on the Kaspar Hauser story! The band guys, though, they sure look like some of NYC's cheesiest musicians!
Yes, it is a very moving song.....and as always with Vega, not just about what it seems to be...."I came out of the darkness holding one thing...that I'd been holding inside"
I really love you Susanne ;)

Thank you for posting this. What a show! I've been to most of her L.A. shows, and she never does Wooden Horse, even though people ask her to.
