I'd use mostly bebop, and rock only for the very last, LA section. And a
gospel rendition of A Soul in Ev'ry Stone. Elsewhere, I think we'd need
some Edith Piaf, some Marlene Dietrich, a-a-and some carefully chosen
Spike Jones. In classical music, gotta have Webern, yes, but also
Richard Strauss and Shostakovich.
Oh, this is fun. But I must say I hope no one ever tries to make a movie
out of anything by Pynchon.
Cheers,
David
