He was one of the first memers in music for sure if you consider obscure inside jokes that nobody understands a meme.

No Pynchon is too elegant and frankly intelligent to bear the comparison. Phillip k dick I think is more spot on. The musical equivalent to Pynchon is something more like Dead C or velvet underground.

Absolutely Free is an album based off of musical memes. So I would say he was the first meme musician
