What in the world is "trivial" about Bob Dyland, a great poet and social
commentator who chose to use music as his vehicle. He and Joan Baez and
the Beatles changed our consciousness. I can't help thinking that they
were much more effective than the endless tomes put out by endless
universities. They deserve to be honored. And if you don't believe that
Dyland was a great poet, read the words or listen to them several times, to
Desolation Row, for instance. Or any early Dylan. I just decided to
change my signature, so look below. Do you understand it??

Dear Jim,
Nothing "wrong," just ironic. "Get of the old road if you can't lend a
hand..." as he once wrote.
Do you think he'll sing "Masters of War?"
