Misc. changes[edit]

I removed the POV passage "The characters are more fully conceived than in most of Dick's writing, and there is a humanity in the book that makes this one of Dick's most affecting works". Cnwb 01:14, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

this movie seems to be connected: http://imdb.com/title/tt0477988/ and hollywood is going to do a remake. 195.214.216.6 21:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I changed "Ironically" to "Coincedentally" in the Sting trivia mention, because there really isn't anything ironic about it. Vaginsh 02:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just went ahead and removed that whole sentence. Sting's song is a reference to the works of John Dowland, and has nothing to do with this book. -- Antepenultimate 17:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW "John Dowland" is a pen-name for P K Dicks. Pbhj (talk) 09:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture[edit]

*Indie shoegaze band Nowhere Nothing is thought to take their name from the novel. Their album "hiccup" is supposedly a play on the title of Jason Taverner's hit single "Nowhere Nothin Fuckup" (Nowhere Nothing - hiccup). They also have a demo called "Taverner" released digitally under a separate band name. Additionally, there is a reference to Philip K. Dick's work in general on their album "collection five" with a song titled "Future according to PKD".

Removed this pending sources and notability check. Viriditas (talk) 05:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The band Built to Spill has a song of the same title as Jason Traverner's hit song in the novel: "Nowhere Nothin' Fuckup" (on their album Ultimate Alternative Wavers). I don't really know if that would qualify it as a reference, but I think it's a little too close for coincidence.

What about the Gary Numan song on the album The Pleasure Principle, called "Listen to the Sirens"? It starts: "Flow my tears" the new police song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.57.162.250 (talk) 14:34, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discordance Axis - Jouhou (1997) contains a song with the same name. --Djadjko (talk) 23:08, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Full Stop?[edit]

I noticed the cover of the book had a full stop after the title. Maybe this is the true title of the book and the title of this article should be changed with a full stop at the end? After all, it is in Good Night, and Good Luck..Parable1991 01:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling mistake?[edit]

One character's name is spelled both "Dominic" and "Dominick"... Which is the right spelling? Silky Slim (talk) 07:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the bass tune (of the same name) be included under the category of music?[edit]

Stewart Hamm composed a bass song which is called Flow my tears the police man said inspired by the same novel. 88.65.198.108 (talk) 18:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
