Of all Vonnegut's books, Cat's Cradle seemed to resonate most closely with the 60's counterculture. It was a favorite of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters. The Grateful Dead named their publishing company "Ice Nine Publishing" after the substance Vonnegut conceived in the book. The "Granfalloon" reference on the "Tapestry" credits is probably just an inside joke that King, Taylor, et al thought was hilarious at the time. Even they might not have understood it after the drugs wore off.
