Not Pynchon just paranoia

To me PM's simplicity to the point of idiocy (combined with what seems like
a savant-like sense of melody and pop structure), innocence to the point of
ignorance, aren't really compelling on their own, but in the presence of
the others and their qualities/influence sometimes gets elevated to
something profound or even divine. See "A Day in the Life," maybe the best
pop song ever because of how perfectly it illustrates and alchemizes the
basic JL/PM differences. But the more distance between him and the rest of
The Beatles, the less he rewards my attention.
