It's Dan'l. Honest.

?? How did I blow it?? At any rate, a favorite song from a favorite album.

Have been since first hearing "Billy the Mountain" in my freshman year of
collitch. And I'm a RC, a Zappa fan -- a fan of "progressive" music in general
-- *and* as much of a "feminist" as a man can reasonably be. (I worry about
appropriating the term, blablablah.) Not to mention an existentialist,
a humanist,
a Taoist, and a skeptic. I am large (or at least overweight); I
contain multitudes.

Not in my experience... I think that religious SF readers may be slightly more
attracted to Wolfe, but not by a huge margin; and certainly quite a few of
the listmembers here (which I take as about as paradigmatic a grouping of
Lupines as you'll get) are non-religious.

Soon, where Toon Town once stood will be a string of gas stations,
inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire
salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards
reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it'll be beautiful.
