Lonesome EJ - Thanks for clearing up the coffee table/Steve Earle/Townes Van Zandt connection. An interesting train of thought. It throws a feast of new variables into the equation. There are those who think songwriters (artists in fact) are a bit like kings, in that a good king can't be a good man and a good man can't be a good king. Dylan seems to fit the formula but T.V.Z. doesn't seem to. I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just throwing it out there for consideration. "Unscrutable" is fine. I found it scrutable.
