What do the Tower of Babel, Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty have in common? The Pixies told us!

Everyone seems to adore the Eiffel Tower in Paris, as evidenced by countless visitors each year. Never mind that most of Paris' population thought otherwise. It's garish, practical first - aesthetics last - approach to architecture drew scorn and ridicule from French artists and architects alike. Many claimed it would ruin the Parisian skyline.
How then was the Eiffel Tower successfully completed anyways? How has it come to be such an icon to the world? The history tells all, of course. As nearly everything in this world, especially in Europe, all roads (and aqueducts) lead back to Rome!
Though modernity paves over it and generations forget, History never dies. Gustave Alec Eiffel is one but perfect example. His life reads like an epilogue of centuries before him, going back to the Eiffel region of Germany (where he got his name) and of course, to Rome and it's "mythology" or pagan worship of various "gods", in particular, the "queen of heaven". Some observers see that trace here in the U.S. in it's penultimate homage to the "mother goddess" in the Statue of Liberty. Did you know that Eiffel had a huge hand in that project as well?
UMass student Charles Thompson, aka "Black Francis" and "Frank Black" certainly did. As an advanced student in anthropology and former "teenager of the year", he put his knowledge into his lyrics which soon became songs for The Pixies. Despite being perhaps the most popular "college band" ever, few then and today still grasp just what he was talking about. Most think he got his inspiration and influence from macabre, gothic studies, and surely he did. But, as he admitted himself readily, it was the BIBLE that truly drove his car to success.
Ironically, whereas Eiffel was a "pioneer of aerodynamics" and designed the first wind tunnels, now used for testing aircrafts, Black Francis was terrified of air travel and drove cross country in the early years of the band.
You just can't make this stuff up! Only God knows the truth behind the things that have shaped our global culture and His Holy Spirit shows us just how it came together. HalleluYAH!

Lyrics Alec Eiffel:

Pioneer of aerodynamics
(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
They thought he was real smart Alec
(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
He thought big they called it a phallic
(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
They didn't know he was PANoramic

Little Eiffel stands in the archway
(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Keeping low doesn't make no sense

Sometimes people can be oh so dense

They didn't want it but he built it anyway
(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway
(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Keeping low don't make sense
Keeping low doesn't make no-sense

(Little Eiffel, Little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
