"Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if #neilyoung knew the song “Surf’s Up” when composing and recording “After the Gold Rush.” Furthermore, #pynchon would never say if he had either song in mind when writing about the “The Dream of the Gentle Flood” passage in #vineland. Regardless, both songs and Pynchon’s piece are saturated with the same emotions — regret, longing, and eventually anguish — that connect to a common theme of lost innocence." https://reclinernotes.com/2026/05/10/the-dream-of-the-gentle-flood-thomas-pynchon-brian-wilson-neil-young-los-angeles/

Give us too much to process, fill up every minute, keep us distracted, it's what the Tube is for, and though it kills me to say it, it's what rock and roll is becoming - just another way to claim our attention, so that beautiful certainty we had starts to fade, and after a while they have us convinced all over again that we really are going to die.
