VL--IV "Do you believe in Magic" p. 64

[Mark Kohut]

Michael B. alludes to.

Big mid-sixties Top Ten hit by the Lovin' Spoonful. 

Music, the magic that opens a young girl's heart, is what Zoyd plays for Gretchen, of course.

Love is/was all around. Other meanings at play here by Mr. Lovin' Pynchon. 

Just more trivia in the wake of Pynchon. I learned that this song--speaking of mutual co-optation--
was featured as theme song (?)--one of them---for TV show "State of Grace", much later. Another
grace note, so to speak.
