Dylan came on the scene of this folk revival as the real deal. He wasnt just a folkster, he was seen as the paragon of this movement that held steadfast to the old traditions. I mean, Guthrie gave Dylan his old suit which is a torch passing like a crown. He wasnt just some folkster plugging in, it was Dylan the prince of the folk music revival pulling some rock 'n' Roll sh#$! Again, silly to read about, but if you examine the impact to the culture, its massive.I didnt take it as such and figured as much. I've been trying to contemplate a better description of nerd rage myself. I think its an inarticulate, yet popular refrain, that catches on. There might be some semblance of pseudo-intellectual thought that inspires a concept for folks to latch onto. Culturally, in the U.S. anyways, there seems to be a rabid anti-intellectual movement that has made the above process very effective. The lines between productive rage and non-productive rage have never been blurrier.Absolutely, let me stew on it a bit and ill respond soon. This has been a stimulating conversation so far.Cheers!</blockquote>
