Though it might seem ridiculous I believe that this is indeed one of the
reasons, at least as far as M&D is concerned. Pynchon seems to be an admirer
of of the 13th Elevators, even has been seen wearing T-shirts with the
band's logo on them (unfortunately I can't remember the source for this
information, does anyone?) so he would certainly be aware of the fact that
the dog/God-anagram lies at the heart of Roky Erickson's amiably deranged
view of the world. But I am sure that some of you former, or perhaps still
practicing, acid heads know much more about this than I do...
