Bob Dylan: Left Hand of God?
Greil Marcus, Let It Rock, March 1973
In the November issue of Let It Rock, Tony White offered some rather hysterical opinions in his Dylan bootleg discography, and Tony Scaduto, author of the biography Bob Dylan, was right to chime in and correct them. But I think his piece was about ten per cent information, forty per cent self-promotion, and fifty percent fallacy. Some of Scadutos stuff deserves an answer.
Total word count of piece: 1796
