I love Sloop John B.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
You have a lot of love in this crazy ol' world, msbelle.
tis true.
and now I am hearing John Prine.
"Sloop John B" is a favorite of mine, too.

Ohhh, Grandpa wore his suit to dinner
Nearly every day
No particular reason
He just dressed that way
Corwood, I forgot to send you this link to Ron Rosenbaum's latest piece on Pale Fire (and a Pynchon mention, too.) Print it out now as the Observer now only keeps articles up for a week before relegating them to the pay-to-read archives.
Wow. I'm on it.
New Mojo has a big Bo Diddley article and a Chess sampler CD. Also a great full page picture of Siouxsie (recent) on the Table of Contents.
So, I heard Thomas Pynchon did a voice on The Simpsons recently? Is that right?
I heard he was coming back. He played himself in one episode with a paper bag over his head.
If the Simpsons had a guy w/ a cape and Viking hat sans horns running around "Fickt nicht mit der Raketemensch!" I would die a happy man (probably on the spot), whether or not Pynchon was the one playing Rocketman.
Will they call it Too Little, Too Late? (Yeah, I know they deserve better, but some jokes just have to be made.)

Ha! In this nation of Pynchonoids, those dying of happiness on the spot would number into the 5s or 6s. It would be an epidemic!
