Dylan performs Woody's Do Re Mi.

That's.......really.......something......

since you cant be a rip-off of an artist who hasn't been born yet, i think its more likely that Dylan is an urban-voiced rip-off of Guthrie

A quote from you-tube..

A recent book from Suzie Rotolo confirms he copied, but he had his own style. I got the book and read it through in a single day,(and handed it off to a close friend whose daughter is moving to the Village.)

And from wiki on Suzie:
Her political views are widely regarded as having triggered Dylan's topical songwriting. The influence of Bertolt Brecht on Dylan's songwriting and performing has been acknowledged by Dylan as stemming from her participation in Brechtian theater during their relationship. Dylan's interest in painting can also be traced back to his relationship with Rotolo.


She also is said to have have gotten pregnant with Dylan and had an abortion. Radical living at large.

I got a fabulous treat tonight. Colin Linden came to town to play at a songwriter's concert. The other songwriter's were A-listers from Nashville, but Linden stepped up and blew the room away. A Canadian, he is a Grand Master of the blues, slide and singing. I was introduced to him by a mutual friend a while back over dinner and a concert in Nashville, but I'd never heard him play and I'm pretty clueless about the A-list. Colin is freakin' awesome.
