This has probably been pointed out before, but it is not in the apf, so I
thought I'd mention it.
Whe Lu Tze finally figures out Ronnie Soak's name he says "Pleased to meet
you. Let me guess your name."
I am 99% certain that this is a deliberate reference to the classic Rolling
Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil" in which the refrain begins:
Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guess my name.
Seems pretty obvious to me. I mean, Soul Music made it clear that Pterry has
a working knowledge of classic rock lyrics, so I can't see how this could be
a coincidence. He's is bound to be familiar with a famous song like that.

The whole "he's the one who left before they got famous" is something
of a Rock & Roll connection, too.
