Speaking of relevant songs, Laurie Anderson did a song called "Gravity's
Angel," in which she sings the words "gravity's rainbow" at least once
(maybe many times).  I've not been able to judge how relevant the song is to
the book, but it's been a while since I read _GR_.

The song can be found on Laurie Anderson's _Mister Heartbreak_ album, which
came out in 1984.  Incidentally, William Burroughs did vocals on one song,
and Peter Gabriel collaborated on another ("Excellent Birds," a version of
which appeared on his album _So_).
