Thread Name: who is George Lewis?
Subject: who is George Lewis? A new Dylan song question.
I was just listening to Dylan's new one Highwater Everywhere( it is available at expecting Rain). There are Several references to real people - Title is C. Patton connected , Big Joe Williams is mentioned in first verse. A couple of verses later goes like this - George Lewis told the Englishmen, the Italian, and the Jew , you can't open your mind to every concievable point of view, they got charles darwin pinned down on the Highway ect.....Bring him in Dead or alive" The only george Lewis that pops up in a web search is a contemparary Jazz composer who uses computers in the creative process.Anyone know what/who Bob's talkin about?
