TRP, NYer, Pavement

[Djuna35 at aol.com]

>From Alex Ross's article "The Pavement Years" in this week's New Yorker comes
a reference to band Pavement's initial "producer" and drummer (and crazy man)
Gary Young:
"One friend of mine had heard that G.Young was a reclusive Pynchon-esque
genius who had hired teen-agers to play his rock compositions."
Seems to me a random TRP allusion, with the reference solely redundant for
"reclusive" and/or "genius": I don't think Ross wants to imply that crazyman
Young was encyclopedic.

steve, who loves how the NYer hyphenates "teen-agers"
