That’s good, damn good. As good as anything I’ve read from the Dylanologist world.

A lot of people believe sixties Dylan was just throwing crazy shit at the wall to see what would stick.

The mega MAGA are 200%.

Zinn had no comment but Burns is working on a new documentary about this problem.

They must have checked out reports of a noose on the way there.
