I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion, love is a dream
But I don't know what it is

Eeevryyboodyy's haappyy noowaadays!
Eeevryyboodyy's haappyy noowaadays!

as the Buzzcocks sing in (one of) their best song(s)! The name 'Thomas
Ruggles Pynchon" was totally unkwown to the young northerner when the
great single by the Dildos came out, combining affirmation and satire 
so intensely, so irreducibly. But the chorus line still managed to hit 
him with all its energy now that he heard about the B/P connection.

Oh yes and: that sympathetic wizard from Brooklyn, Richard Romeo, showed
me Saturday a fine article on Mason and Dixon which he had found at the
Austin Main Library. It is to be found in _American Heritage_, February
1964. Border stone pictures; people with Pynchonesque names; beautiful
citations; looked like a must. So:

Bet you are tired of being upset
Always wanting something you never can get
Life's no illusion, love's not a dream
Now I know just what it is

Eevryyboodyy's haappyy noowaadays!
Eevryyboodyy's haappyy noowaadays!


Now everybody--
