Subject: RE: Origins: Do You Know Any Dylan? (Eric Bogle)
way back in time (the tape cassette era) I had an excellent Dylan Parody bootleg tape that famously included actor Sebastian Cabot doing Boots of Spanish Leather - Sebastian Cabot Recites Bob Dylan Songs (to music)

I've written a few of these 'knock offs' myself including this bit about Malibu, California (one of Bob's homes) -

Front Row Seat at a Three Ring Circus

They’re selling posters of the surfers. Celebrities all around. Developers and real estate, buying up the ground. Here comes the fire commissioner, the hills are all ablaze. Sheriffs and their deputies chasing the bums away. While right-wingers and the lefties fighting in the headline news Crowds push thru the turnstiles to the three-ring circus blues

Always thought that Desolation Row should be adopted to light opera.

thanks bob .... for all those words
