Well - I have to tell ya Drifter........... you have just "drifted" off the subject all together to me. I don't think Dylan has anything to do with Young's song. I think Young's song is just his opinion to make him money cause it's maybe the way he thinks OR........... maybe he knows that hopefully 68% of the country might pay him to listen to his whiney voice.............. truth is who the hell cares?

You can give Dylan all the atta boys ya want.......... it wasn't his singin degree that got Carter off death row. Trust me Dylan probably wrote more "of concious" songs than Young could ever come up with. I happen to like Dylan......... he's just not the attorney that got him off. Carter had appeals goin long before Dylan came along. Justice is blind - I don't think Dylan made justice happen. I think the regular appeals process did. Perhaps Dylan got him a better attorney. I think Dylan made enough money off the song to pay for his attorney..........

All I'm sayin is Dylan is more like Guthrie........... ya know Arlo's DAD - Woodie????............ Those were folk writers that wrote of injustice during injust times............. Young just ain't "all that" to me............ How bout we agree to disagree.............. neither one of us is gonna convince the other - I can live with that........ I won't lose no sleep - I promise!!.......... I also promise you will never convince me Young is worth all this time and effort either............. he's whinney.............

Ya don't have to be smart to be able to vote............ but I certainly sat in enough history and govt classes to know not to let someone I don't respect sway my vote one way or the other. They might be smarter in music....... but hey - when they are sick........ they are lookin for the likes of me........ I can't think of a time I would ever look to listen to the likes of him............again - JMHO...........
