Alanabit: So well put.   We may differ on Dylan but, as in many things, there is not right or wrong.

Do, however, check Harry Chapin---his portraits of people like "Mr. Tanner", the DJ in "WOLD", the relationships of parents in children in "Cats in The Cradle" among other is truly a monumental achievment.    Sadly, the only things that ever get air-play on radio station (other than mine---WFDU--and on our Traditions program) are the pop ones---Taxi and (happily) Cats in the Cradle. One has also recall that he wrote a wonderful musical that premiered after his untimely demise---Cotton Patch Gospel.
