Didn't see that, Spaw, but I can imagine. In his mid-fifties, Roger McGuinn must find himself in a pretty odd position. A contemporary of Dylan, Ochs, Hardin, Bok and others, he is still not really accepted by the Folk Community because of his previous "Rock Star" status. And that's a shame, because I think Roger's done a hell of a lot for folk and traditional music, not the least contribution being his helping to introduce it to a mass audience.
