The Catcher in the Rye was cited in the Jonas Brother song "6 Minutes", saying: "Sometimes I feel like the catcher in the rye/ Sometimes I wish that I could catch her eye/ Sometimes I wish that I could be that guy"
Who writes this crap? I mean, do they make it up on the bus or backstage before the concert?
You know what would have been the ultimate prank by author J.D. Salinger, the ultimate jab at the American literati that's whined about his seclusion for decades? If he would have picked that occasion to pop up, when the fucking Jonas Brothers incorporate his classic of American literature in their bullshit song about ... dry-humping, or heavy petting, or what have you. Ohhh!
He'd literally shit-eating-grin himself to death after that.
(P.S. I'm not sure I could read it anymore. I'm afraid I'd feel old and washed-up or something.)
