Yes, that old Boston Phoenix piece is marvellous.

I had seen the (short but good) Verlaine interview before, not the main 
part. There are so many interesting observations and asides... I'm reminded 
of many pieces of music, and literature, and American history.

And all those outsiders. Gregory Corso! Is he still alive?

Abbie Hoffman... Steal This Book! Is that still on sale, uncensored? I doubt 
it. Mind you, Emmett Grogan said that Abbie stole his (Emmett's) ideas. 
Emmett was a close friend of Dylan (who dedicated Street Legal to him). The 
same Emmett who was a Digger and central to the Summer of Love, SF 1967, 
Altamont, and everything else, who wrote "Ringolevio", the most astonishing 
autobiography of all time. For sheer breadth of achievement in a short life, 
who could match Emmett?

For another perspective on this, read the fine memoir by Peter Coyote, 
"Sleeping Where I Fall". Coyote was, among other things, a Digger with 
Emmett, and is a big Dylan fan.

Dylan, Patti, Verlaine... These are Americans I can look up to, unlike those 
who reign in Washington and have made America a very forbidding place. And 
not just for Cat Stevens. (The news prompted me to go out and buy "Tea For 
The Tillerman" yesterday.) How long before Richard Thompson, another devout 
Muslim Briton, is expelled from the States?
