then there was the "Pynchon's Politics" piece in PN 26-27, 1990, wherein 
it's suggested that one of the popular thoughts on TRP's identity is 
that he is "an outlaw keyboardist who travels incognito and records 
pseudonumously with Laurie Anderson" (6).

When I was recently in New York, I saw a banner advertising a Laurie 
Anderson show.  I'm a bit ashamed to say that I thought of this 
suggestion (in Hollander's art.) as we passed.  Just got a little shiver.
Unfortunately, the only celeb we saw was The Donald.
