Plot Which Has No Name + CoL49 Update

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

. . . .well, err, I guess I was cooking up a scenario where our beloved author 
was slipping script concepts in at the planning stages, and seeing that both 
Groening and TRP were in the general Bay Area/Northern California real estate 
thing at the time and seeing as it's the only gas transmission our boy ever 
appeared in, I wonder if the notion of Springfield in the Simpsons might have 
been a knowing or collaborative sort of thing. Cause the Whole Pynchon
line in the U.S. Started up with that Fur-Henchman and Antinominian 
William Pynchon. In Springfield

Or maybe what it is I really need is either sleep or for this early, ugly Arvo 
Part on the box to move on towards the Gregorian Minimalism we have all 
grown to know and love and in the case of the more monastic among us, 
hum along with. But I'll settle for coffee right now.

P.S., yes there's prima facia bullshit in the post in question---and by the 
way kids, check out Chris Durant's high octave rant in the HuffPo today, 
it's demented, it's deranged, it's de-lovely.

Has to be read by anyone with even the slightest interest in 'The Crying of Lot 
49'.  I'll bet the "Waste Doctrine" came back around and bit Pynchon & Company 
right in the ass during the dustbowl years. And corporations have a big hand in 
making history books, just like George M. Pynchon and his chums had plenty 
of clout with "The Newspaper Of Record". That was the real point of the 'Plot 
Which Has No Name', that something so central to our National self definition 
could be so hard to find, so easily hidden. You might trip over it. . . .
