Thanks everyone for your swift and thoughtful articulations, and especially Jerry for a draft(!) -- my current temptation is just to send him the URL for this site, but I will be drafting a reply. I will let you know how it turns out. Being a newspaper interview it has to be responded to fairly quickly. It occurred to me reading this that there are one or two recent self-righteous Dylan songs that I could weave into the mix. I guess I am more vinegary than Jerry's honey-tongued eloquence.

(And I don't think Marcus is Canadian).

Thanks again.

Yours, Peter T.
