Where does this line of speculation and extr-textual-conjectual analysis
lead? 

No place. 


If, big if, RC is a Nam Vet and Moonpie is his Vietnamese wife, big big
if, what does that add to the novel? 

Nothing. 

Does it explain the odd names? 

No. 

Why RC and Moonpie? 

Just another song? Odd name? 

Vineland id about Work, business, partners, who are we working for Mason
and Dixon and how innocent can that be? hmmmmm .... doing business with
Zoyd Wheeler has risks. 

And the seasons they go round and round
and the painted ponies go up and down
