I'm sure some of you have heard of the band Nirvana? Released an album called nevermind a while back?
If you've ever read Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon - and you should - you'll notice one of his many poems:
"Ah, they do bother him,
these free women in their teens,
their spirits are so contagious,
I'll tell you it's just -out, -ray, -juss,
Spirit is so -con, -tay, -juss,
Nobody knows their a-ges..."
and yes it turns out 'apparently' Kurt Cobain was a big fan of the book
When have you found a piece of popular culture, ripped from the pages of your favourite books?
