unusual facts about Thin Air



Murder of Melanie Hall

While living in Bath, singer/songwriter Peter Hammill (also with Van der Graaf Generator) had the idea for a song, later released on his album Thin Air (2009), called "Your Face on the Street" inspired by the disappearance of Melanie Hall.

Isaac Fawkes

Hogarth regarded Fawkes' popularity as indicative of the mentality of the public; as part of his act Fawkes produced money from thin air by an act of sleight-of-hand, which Hogarth may have seen as analogous to the exceptions of the investors in the South Sea Bubble (whom Hogarth had mocked earlier in his Emblematical Print on the South Sea Scheme).
