Wasn't Klein the (originally) "Anonymous" author of the Clinton-liberal pillorying Primary Colors? That could be the reason.
Right, of course.
(Doubly moronic of me, as I happen to know the guy who fingered him.)
(...more here - sorry Don)
(Had always thought the Woody biography was OK, is why I asked.)
The "father of literary forensics" - that's very impressive.
I enjoyed Klein's Guthrie bio quite a bit, also, which makes things like this all the more disconcerting.
One father among many, no doubt.
No thanks for the link; Joe Klein should maybe stick to biographies of the dead.
haven't you done more than enough of that 60s' okie left schtick?
like Steely Dan is touring: SD's a bit closer to authentic leftist-libertarian goals than any folksingers were, and to literary themes as well. Plus some complex interesting rock-jazz muzak, however schmaltzy on occasion............
how about some posts on Don and Walt, hipster
Fair enough, I suppose it's true. I've been too busy lately, paying bills (and living some, in stolen moments in between) to speak at any length of Steely Dan.
