A plea for Bobby

16 Years Ago


Namaste Chloe,

I read that you wanted to lose Dylan. To me, he represents what the Beats have become. Kerouac and Ginsberg are dead. We cherish their writings, but Dylan is still creating. Ferlinghetti has turned City Lights into a political propaganda machine... Uncle Bobby and the punks who bowed at their feet... Patti Smith and the like... still affect change through their art. I say keep Bobby. He not only fits, to me, he leads.

Anyone else?

Love to you,

Elaine
