When I first heard of the "Boss" connection (and in
this group) I was pretty bemused by it. But I don't know about others, but it
doesn't have a whole lot of interest for me beyond that.
In thinking about it, though, music (and
particularly rock music) plays almost no role in Percy's novels. I remember him
alluding to jazz (Dixieland) several times but to the best of my knowledge, rock
and roll is not present in any of the novels - which strikes me as kind of
interesting in the sense that i think of Percy as such a "modern" writer in most
ways. Just a thought...
I can't imagine that he would have given the Boss
or any other "pop" musician much more than a fleeting thought...the novel that
comes to mind that might have utilized rock music would have been "Love in the
Ruins"....
