I will do that. But can't right now. iTUNES has just released Dylan's  
_Modern Times_ and I'm listening to 'Thunder On The Mountain' as I  
type. Lyrics like this leave Pynchon whimpering in the dust:

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
I been to St. Herman's church, said my religious vows
I've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows

I got the porkchops, she got the pie
She ain't no angel and neither am I
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams
