BaggerMcGuirk Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 For some reason I remember an interview where he said it was about the royal astronomer being an expression meaning full of shit. Like an emperor's clothes deal. God, that was forever ago though, so I'm probably wrong.

perunamuusi Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Why didn't I just google "royal astronomy kurt vonnegut" instead of posting this topic Took me 7 years to come up with that brilliant idea Quote The album's title is a reference to an essay by Kurt Vonnegut (collected in Fates Worse Than Death) in which Vonnegut compares commentators on the intellectual and moral decline of society to the Royal Astronomer in The White Deer by James Thurber, who believes that the stars in the night sky are going out one by one, but in fact this is because he is slowly going blind.
