I was writing, Guest, if you will look, of the time when they were 'ours': before the singer·songwriting Dylanalike mafia moved in & made to squeeze us out. What they might subsequently have become is not germane to my point about what happened then; up to which time, yes, I reaffirm, they had been our clubs.

So, I ask again, why did it happen?; rather than the JoniMitch-clones et al, finding their own field instead of squatting on our bailiwick?
