Changes

What's the joke here? Maybelline eye makeup? Or the chase element in [http://www.chuckberry.com/ Chuck Berry's] song? Probably all of the above, plus a Pynchonian takeoff on Muzak (the "oboe-and-string rendition.") Although a good rockin' tune, Berry's "Maybellene" doesn't have much of a melody, so the idea of an instrumental version, particularly for oboe and strings, seems absurd. See also "New Age mindbarf" on [[#Page 330|p. 330]].
