… Ennyman's Territory: David Pichaske Talks About Poetry, Culture and His Insightful Dylan Study: Song of the North Country. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

This was our private world, as social media are the private world of today’s youth. And it was a world of sound and words. The tip-off is the song lyrics printed on the jackets of 33 1/3 LPs: we were all paying attention to the words.
