Zoyd is bad

[sigmur]

>Zoyd hardly knows this chick. Sure he married her on the groovy high of
>LSD, but she's educated pussy, political, Red Herstory and soooo very
>inappropriate. She meets him at work. Could have been the bass player.
>Gordita Beach... then pregnancy and postpartum complications. OK, pal.
>Let her go.

Yeah, let her go, find a good woman who really loves you, cut your hair, get
a proper job and never be no amusing character in no hippie novel.

>But he can't. It's a double bind. At first he obsesses about Brock Vond
>and neglects his kid.  He forgets about Brock and Hector and all that,
>settles in Vineland, never quite making Daddy of the month ...  but he's
>built something ... his relationship with his daughter is below average
>even for a pot head but ...

This man Zoyd should be arrested right now!

> he's got his window gig, his pot, his
>business deals ... welcome to the planet earth, Zoyd ...

Justice! Finally


>Zoyd goes to Hawaii. Has to get a job to get there. Frenesi doesn't.
>Man, this guy is in L O V E. Right? Yeah, with death. Not suicide. No,
>Zoyd's never gonna jump through a window like dear Deleuze.

So Deleuze window gig is OK then? He was not a pot head, that's it

 >He's in love
>with the Man with the gun and the badge and the power and the machine.
>So he goes to Hawaii to find Brock. Poor Zoyd, when will ever stop
>driving his machine in the dark looking for Death in all the wrong
>places.

Yap, Zoyd's is the one in luve with uniforms, and Everything is About Death
and Power. I'll re-read Vineland again, gotta keep that in mind. Oh! I just
got caught in the entrance-trap! Please set me free!
