The Tokens--yes and no; certain assemblages of Tokens vis-a-vis certain
songs. But I'll certainly honor Simon's quite defensible entry--only how
the heck will I get a cupcake to CA? I shd have thought of that before I
posted this, shdn't I? Well, I'll work on it. Didn't Eliott also submit
the Tokens? Now _that_ I can make good on; just be patient! I actually had
in mind THE QUOTATIONS, straight out of King's Highway in Brooklyn; their
big hit, "Imagination," mostly goes to show that Jews didn't sing doo-wop as
well as Italians did....Re the Dylan quotes: Wolf submitted some perfectly
respectable ones, and again I'll certainly honor them as legit submissions
(and in this case the reward will be quite easier to pull off). But I had
in mind a more obscure quotation--obscure in the sense of not transparent
(maybe I mean "opaque"): It has no obvious Jewish reference _at all,_ yet I
think has profound Jewish implications (maybe or not for Dylan
himself--can't say). I'll give one hint; then (if I don't get any
responses, or any correct ones) give the answer a week from today and bring
this contest to a merciful close--only a week or two after the Independent
Counsel statute expired! Here's the hint: EITZ CHAYIM. Good luck
everyone!
