A fine piece, Andrew. Thank you. Reminded me of the granular analysis in your excellent book, Razor’s Edge, chronicling your devoted following of the NET. (I devoured it in two sittings, btw).
Great piece! Dylan often offers a very conspiratorial view of things only to deny or obscure later. There’s a lot of that in his ‘80s interviews I think. Did you ever write about Neighbourhood Bully at all?
Obscuration is a prime Bobby trait, no question. Thanks for writing and recommending. No, or not mainly on Neighbourhood Bully at least. I may have discussed it in longer pieces about general themes, but perhaps that was only in emails following fanzine publications. Answering you here brings those days flooding back. Have you written, or are you going to write, about it?

Thanks, Gerald, very kind. Was that two sittings for the book or the article? ;-) Good going for the book, certainly!
