Hi John,
I hope I didn't write anything rude in the response that I addressed to you, I don't think I did. Or anything that suggested I was 'losing my temper'. I also didn't say that holding the view that Cole Porter is better was 'untenable', just that they were writing in very different styles.
Dylan groupies can get annoying though, I'll give you that.
Can we make up over our shared love of the great Larkin? I'm not so much of a Dylan fan that I don't always smile at Larkin's gentle dismissal of the song 'Desolation Row' in his newspaper Jazz review column: "an enchanting tune and mysterious, possibly half-baked words"
Cheers.
