[lbo-talk] A sample from Bob Dylan's memoir

[Travis Fast]

No I am just mad at Bob for selling my parents protest music to the 
banks.  Oh yah and far be it from anyone to demand anything from the 
genius artist.  Ralph.  How about a screed against social realism.  Um 
ah or do we dislike that aspect of Dylan's original aesthetic and 
celebrate his narcissistic muse.  Sounds right for the times. Spare us 
the cultural revolution indeed.
