Dear Tim,

[Mark Kohut]

I was just thinking of a wiki like the other ones you've done beyond
Pynchon, maybe. On this song but like the Pynchon, Infinite Jest ones
where listeners could cite the allusions and comment on the meaning of
lines, images, etc...

I hear it as a dirge for the idea of the ideal America, embodied in JFK the
Camelot King,  with buried Faisher King and his lands and heart
of the people and other godsend Bough stuff....some GB stuff influenced TRP
to, it seems, sometimes thru Eliade.....towers, etc.

One of the OP Henry Adams' works which TRP surely read is *The Degradation
of the Democratic Ideal. *Has some physics ideas of the time---and Adams
went big into History with them. Entropy for example.

Keep On Keeping On.
