BTW, the song "Life Is A Ball Game" (available on Rhino's "Baseball's Greatest Hits Vol. 1") is hilarious, mixing baseball and religious references with Satan as the opposing pitcher trying to strike you out and finishes with St. John coming on in the Ninth Inning as your closer. Not sure the analogies all work but it's truly a baseball classic.

That song and the "Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" (on the same CD) by Steve Goodman are all-time keepers.

Right on!

And Dylan belongs in every Hall of Fame there is. He's one of the 10 most influential entertainers of the 20th Century.
