I'm falling off the wagon to write this, Garrison, because my extraction from social media, especially your blog, is somewhat imperfect like just about everything else that I do, but I absolutely love this post, and I'd really love to hear a pod cast of you talking with Bob Dylan about the good old days and about current affairs and everything in between, including the music of our youth and today's stuff too. Could you make that happen? Neither of you two are dead yet, and even if no one else would listen to a couple of old farts ramble on and on, I know that I sure would, and I bet that I'm not alone in this either. How 'bout it?

Only an English major could write this sentence: " I was a mere entertainer in the midst of serious journalists and scholars, and I was seriously looked down upon by many people whom income from my show was supporting." Wow. Congrats.

I've always wanted to read the book that would reveal the true secret of Bob Dylan. It would be entitled, Bob the Businessman. And don't get me wrong - I'm a massive fan of Bob the Artist. But don't tell me he didn't get some most excellent business advice, and I'd be curious to know who gave it to him.

This column - one of your best. Thank you.
