Well he certainly didn't admit this to me. Hence, apparently. Did you study
the English language at school or just picked it up from TV ad's. It's
called a prefix. It's a tool used in the English language to mechanise the
thoughts of the reader to understand the CONTEXT of what will follow. In
your case, however, it has completely failed.

Well I do, because it's in the article. Is this a discussion or a slanging
match? Understand that I didn't write the article, I simply advised of it's
existence. I couldn't give a continental if Carter did or not. Havn't you
noticed that there are a number of quite young people that come hear to try
and gain some information. Whether that information is suitable to your
personal tastes or not, is of no consequence. You have to take the rough
with the smooth.Your ability to allow others to exchange information can at
best be descibed as zero tolerant. What's the pattern of your posts? They
certainly disable any potential interaction. Because you don't agree with a
comment, you feel you have the right to close it down completely.
Fuck off, let it be.

Who cares where you stand on the Carter issue. It's your know-all attitude.
You don't know it all, nobody does.

So let the debate continue if it doesn't affect you personally, regardless
of urban legends.
Since when was the internet the only source of information. Good grief, that
is myopic to say the least.
What do you think people did before the internet was readily available.
Tablets of stone? Smoke signals?

Why do you doubt this. I have only read 3. Telegraph, The Bridge and
Dignity. The Telegraph was THE Dylan magazine, but sadly the editor John
Bauldie was killed in a helicopter accident. It is continued in form as The
Bridge.
All of these publications are reputable.

Where do you think this is, the House Of Representatives? Get a grip, it's a
chat forum on Bob Dylan for crying out loud.

Somewhat trigger happy by the sounds of it.
Why don't you shut up till I find the article in question. Has it never
occurred to you why Bob hasn't performed the song since January 1976?

Later, when you're in a better mood.
