You've been reading Terry Pratchett, haven't you :)
I have only read the German translation ans while the German text talks about
"rock music" I think the English one (at least from the title) talks about
"soul music"?!
But the style of Terry Pratchett is cool. Almost as cool as Douglas Adams
writings...
I think Pratchett is more focused and intentional satire. Adams is more
chaotic. Hitchhikers' Guide had a short episodic structure that I think
hindered it.
