  say, richard, how many real world rock'n'roll bands do get mentioned by name  
  in "gravity's rainbow"?! you see ...

  i know that you don't like jagger, but this has - as far as i can see -   
  nothing to do with pynchon.

  "... mick strobed and flashed in concert like some multimouth de kooning 
  female, sucking on the hand mike." (don delillo: "underworld", p. 383)

  in rolf dieter brinkmann's novel "keiner weiß mehr" [1968], the rolling stones 
  appear now and then (cf. for instance p. 179), & some words from "between the 
  buttons" were taken for the epigraph:

                                              "oh, no, no, no
                                               oh, no, no, no
                                               oh, no, no, no"

next! kfl
