Setting Pynchon to music? Well, why not, given that his elusiveness leaves everything open. I love V and have taught it several times, likely never doing it actual justice. It seems more relevant than ever given gender fluidity and AI. So a big 90 there for a gracious attempt.

The Byrds' version of I Come and Stand kind of plods along for me: 78

This Mortal Coil: 84 really like that voice!
