Roy Lofquist, I guess I was there from the beginning too. I saw Dylan in 1966 in one of his early electric shows at Kleinham’s Music Hall in Buffalo. I agree he has been over analyzed and
often claimed by camps he had no part in. He is just an American original like Johnny Cash singing songs about this great and strange land we live in. These guys’ body of work is breathtaking story telling .Dylan’s piece,
“Workingman’s Blues#2″ off the album Modern Times
is like an elegy or funeral dirge for the old mill towns dying in post industrial America.
