Not Pynchon just paranoia

The Fab Four are the defining example of synergy.
By the way, I agree with all that's been said about Paul, though it
personally pains me, because I have a crushing responsibility to defend him.
When I was about 7, my big sister laid out four black-and-white Beatle
bubble-gum cards (no bubble-gum in the deal), and said: "These are the
Beatles. You have to pick which one you like." I looked them over and
pointed to George. "Uh-uh. He's mine. Pick another." So I chose Paul, and
I've tried to be (Wings?? Ebony and Ivory???) as faithful as I can ever
since.
