Caroline : Shasta
Sloop John B : Golden Fang

The rest falls into place. Caroline No is Shasta back to the beach to see Doc. I Just Wasn't Made for [the paranoid 1970's]. I Know There's an Answer - there must be. Let's Go Away for a While, Shasta on the Fang and Doc to Las Vegas. Don't Talk is Shasta's return. That's Not Me is Coy realizing he needs to get out of Vigilant California. You Still Believe in Me is Doc and Bigfoot's reconciliation. Wouldn't it be Nice is Doc and Sauncho in a dinghy chasing after the Fang cross fade to Doc's driving off in the fog roll credits :::

i don't remember much of the book to be honest, what about the other songs though?

>When Siegel brought his friend Thomas Pynchon up to the house one night, the famous hipster novelist sat in stunned, unhappy silence while the nervous, stoned pop star — who had dragged him into his then-new Arabian tent to get high — kept kicking over the oil lamp he was trying to light. ‘Brian was kind of afraid of Pynchon, because he’d heard he was an Eastern intellectual establishment genius,’ Siegel recalls. ‘And Pynchon wasn’t very articulate. He was gonna sit there and let you talk while he listened. So neither of them really said a word all night long. It was one of the strangest scenes I’d ever seen in my life.

>I told him [TRP] about the Dylan assignment. 'You ought to do one on The Beach Boys,' he said. I pretended to ignore that. A year or so later, I was in Los Angeles again, doing a story for the Post on The Beach Boys [ultimately published by Cheetah magazine]. He had forgotten his earlier remark and was no longer interested in them. I took him to my apartment in Laurel Canyon, got him royally loaded and made him lie down on the floor with a speaker at each ear while I played Pet Sounds, their most interesting and least popular record. It was not then fashionable to take The Beach Boys seriously.
"'Ohhhhh," he sighed softly with stunned pleasure after the record was done. 'Now I understand why you are writing a story about them.'

post yfw you realized Pynchon made this thread

>>7337509
what do you think the Martin Fierro OP?

>>7337509
What are your favorite four lines by Lord Byron, OP?

Does Pynchon post on /lit/?

>>7337648
Occasionally.

>>7337648
No. For real, do you really think a father and writer in his late seventies has nothing better to do than anonymously message pretentious depressive undergrads who haven't read half the books they claim to on the literature section of a racist Right-Wing Japanese Cartoon website? Actually that sounds right up his alley. So probably.

>>7337651
Got any proof, bucko?

>>7337648
Aw don't be foolin' me Ace.

>>7337653

Dear lord, this made me giggle very hard.

>Sheriff John Stone
>Why don't you leave me alone?

Pinecone writes IV. Tells PTA about it being PS backwards.

>And then he took and he ate up all of my corn

Remember when someone ate up all of Doc's corn?

>Let me go home
>Why don't they let me go home?
>This is the worst trip I've ever been on

What about Here Today?

It starts with just a little glance now
Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now
You know you ought to take it slower
But you just can't wait to get to know her

A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
But if you're not careful think about the pain it can bring

It makes you feel so bad
It makes your heart feel sad
It makes your days go wrong
It makes your nights so long

You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Right now you think that she's perfection
This time is really an exception
Well you know I hate to be a downer
But I'm the guy she left before you found her

Well I'm not saying you won't have a good love with her
But I keep on remembering things like they were

She made me feel so bad
She made my heart feel sad
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long

You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

>Coy
Don't even have to make that leap, if you'll recall Shasta is literally held against her will on the Golden Fang and has to fuck the ship's cook to get home

Is 'corn' 60's/70's slang for pussy?

>>7337735
Cornhole means anus.

>Sheriff John Stone
>John Stone
>John, derived from Johannes, meaning gracious, mighty,
>Stone, from Sten, traditionally meaning cliff or bluff, bluffs being colloquially called 'fot' in Swedish, or 'feet' for their shape
>Bigfoot is Swedish
>Mighty Foot
>yfw Bigfoot is Sheriff John Stone
