Subject: RE: Is/Was Dylan happy? Was it worth it?
Ah, but he had such a fresh and youthful face in '65!

U of M would be University of Minnesota, I believe.

By the way, Hillel, I was an "outcast" too...a shy, intellectual, book-reading Canadian kid with leftist political inclinations, marooned from age 10 to 20 in a right-wing redneck little town in upstate New York some distance from Syracuse. Pretty much like Hibbing, I would think. I could hardly have felt more alienated and alone than I did there. Maybe that's why I liked Dylan so much. I don't find it that big a leap to identify with the "wandering Jew". Hardly anyone around there even began to comprehend what Dylan was about, let alone empathize with it...they were all into the Beatles, the Monkees, and the Rolling Stones.
