Tangled up in Pynchon

[Carvill John]

Hi foax

Long time, no post. I see the P-list digests are *still* screwed up. What gives, I wonder?

Noticed the Dylan mention, and couldn't resist chipping in....

Whoooooooops! Don't think so. In fact the connections (such as they may be) between 'Tangled' and Joni's 'Blue', have been, at best, hugely overplayed. Peronally, I don't think the claim that Dylan's song was named for 'Blue' rings even half-way true. 
If you're interested, here;s a little piece I did for popmatters, on 'Tangled':
