Crying of Lot 49, Group Read cont.

[Mark Kohut]

*2 *Sick Dick and the Volkswagens..
Play this meaning as it lays.....

Mucho does not believe.....who does he
represent?...the hollow suburban American?  The working man's
meaningless daily life?...A typical American of the early 60s soon to
believe only in a different--counter--culture?  is belief in
everything the tower surrounds and holds onto, unbelievable?
(although we can be fond of it, ala Mucho on this group.)

Is this like all of the older generation who were fond of the Beatles, say,
(and
other English groups) but did not "believe" in them? A fad...not really
music, etc...

The time frame of Lot 49 IS the British Invasion...musical, of course...
