Thread Name: ADD: The Hustler (Eric Andersen)
Subject: Lyr Req: 'The Hustler' (E. Andersen)
From "Bout Changes and Things" (1966). I've tried to transcribe from my CD, but I don't trust what I'm hearing. On some level, I know it's a dig on Dylan and the folk (folk-rock) scene, circa 65-66. Does anyone know if anything specific prompted it (besides general jealousies and resentment at Dylan's put-downs), what reactions the Greenwich Village regulars had (if any)? I know producer Tom Wilson was fired by Dylan in August 65, and Wilson thereafter did work with Andersen. Any backstory there? Thanks.
