There doesn't seem to be much order, and then BAM: Biblical reference. BAM: city in New York, etc...

I wasn't really getting that vibe.

I'm not really sure what you mean by this. When I think of "name dropping" I think of famous people, not places or biblical references.

there were a few references to famous people, if that's what you're getting at, but they were his friends, so it didn't strike me as elitist

i like it because it adds more of a personal meaning other than some fictitious (sp) allusion or event
