In a bar where I stopped in to warm up, or maybe just to have a beer, I found myself at the bar next to a large bald Deadhead, who was greatly interested in what Hunter's lyrics might mean. My own view was that they were good lyrics for good songs. I quoted or misquoted the heroine in <i>Persuasion</i> who suggested to the susceptible Naval type that he might introduce more prose into his reading. The Deadhead's answer was (nearly verbatim), "Well, Jane's got a good rap, but it's not my rap."<br />Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-71898091561552679022019-09-25T21:02:13.462+01:002019-09-25T21:02:13.462+01:00Yes indeed – 50 years back.
