Keith Richards not slow himself at economics once termed Bob Dylan "the prince of profit" & not far off the Marxist barometer. The enigma must be preserved for the elusive minstrel to keep his image who unlike Sam Beckett in 1969 did not spin.

Some, like Marlowe, even took other jobs. -----Original Message----- From: Robin Hamilton Sent: Oct 24, 2016 6:05 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Marlowe-speare Now *I'm* the one who's cross-posting.
