Vecsey's mistake
Vecsey's article, while good, does appear to have one major mistake. He
used a line from a Paul Simon song making fun of Bob Dylan, "learned the
truth from Lenny Bruce". At the end of the article, he states:
Pass the harmonica, Alvin.
<snip>
At the end of the song, Simon drops his harmonica, and says, "Oh,
Albert, I can't find my harmonica." not Alvin. I presume that this is
Vecsey's reference. The Albert referred to was Dylan's then
manager/agent, Albert Grossman. Course, he could be referring to Alvin
the Chipmunk. I believe he plays harmonica too!
