Anyway, I'm older than that, like double.  But what of it?  I also am a
huge fan of Dhalgren also.  If Gravity's Rainbow is an explosion, then
Dhalgren is in an implosion...

When I watch TV, or watch others watch TV, we don't seem to watch as
much as surf.  Speaking of MTV, was that album by Pat Benatar called
"Gravity's Rainbow" of any special interest, or did it just borrow the
title?
