Callas next time it is! Not sure if they'd let Pynchon repeat the prank
though!

My take on the speech is Pynchon wrote it, Corey read it unrehearsed -note
the interjected "Goddamn it(s)" and "Who wrote this?" comments. The
mispronouncements (Richard Python) and maybe some of the stranger
illogicalities are pure Corey, his standard routine, but it definitely seems
he read from a speech prepared by P. To add to the confusion, a nude
streaker appears during the speech. I can't tell when during the speech it
happens, however, maybe during one of the expletives.
