Most of what you posted is notes. Your comments are brief and by and
large about TV culture and TV-narrative. Interesting enough, but trails
blazed and beaten. 

none of the notes or comments go to support your claim that P presents
the '80's culture debates, doesn't take a position, and avoids making
mouthpieces of his characters. 

The one thing that interests me is the wedding gig. 


Prairie and I-24 are working Zoyd. They want to sell him on I-24's
business plan, make him a partner (Z will secure the financing). 

I-24 wants to go into business. 

Z "sets up" and sets up  I-24 with the wedding gig. 

The wedding gig is a job for a day cause Ralph's daughter won't be
gettin married every weekend. 

Not exactly a business. 

Kinda like jumping through a window at the cuke. 

I-24 gets the gig. 

And the cuke gig? Does he get a cuke gig? 

What was Zoyd trying to do? 

Help the kid out? Set him up? Does it matter? Prairie will meet DL at
the wedding gig. 
Who set that up? maybe it was the work of ghosts.
