Heh! Fred, you really should read the first chapter about the Greenwich Village days. The article you read chose to focus on what they chose to focus on for their own reasons. How could a folk musician NOT be fascinated by the picture Dylan paints of the coffeehouse scene in the Village back then? He is also tremendously appreciative and complimentary of so many other people's talents. It's just a delight reading his enthusiastic descriptions of the many musicians who impressed and inspired him when he was a youngster "bound for glory".
