Do we, actually, need "biographers" to know this?

Just listen to the music!

Lots of literary references in Morrison's lyrics.

"Take the highway to the end of the Night ..." refers to Céline's 
brilliant debut novel.

And Jim's poetry has influenced other American writers:

"The appeal of cinema lies in the fear of death."

(JDM: The Lords and The New Creatures. Poems. New York 1971: Touchstone, 
p. 55)

Does this ring a bell for readers of "Gravity's Rainbow"?
