    Dylan is NOT boomer

    He's a generation older -- post beat pre hippie -- paleolithic, boomers are neopaleolithic

    He and Mick Jagger are the major poets of my generation -- when Dylan went electric his back up men -- Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, Mark Naftalin -- the Butterfield Blues Band are -- esoteric rnr crap -- analogues of the Rolling Stones -- Paul a year and a day older the Keith, Mike 2 days younger than Mick ... and what did they effin record -- Like a Rolling Stone ...

    That's archetypal ... even better than le mot just, donchya think?
