Hey, I wouldn't neccessarily recognize a 50s tune, no matter how well-known it was then, if I heard someone cover it. So I guess I could forgive 'em for not knowing The Bob. And to be honest, when I first heard Fruvous do I Shall Be Released [1], I didn't remember it as a Dylan original, either.

He's at a nearby hospital in stable condition and it appears the injuries are not life threatening. In fact, he and his wife struggled with the criminal and were able to detain him long enough for police to arrive.

It's a question, really... Can we PLEASE keep this off the NG?? I am one of many who believes that IRC and the NG are two separate mediums. There are a few crossovers, but there are some NG'ers who are not #mf (#bd)'ers, and vice versa. WHY can we not deal with IRC difficulties and animosities in IRC? Why do we feel the need to bring countless people who are NOT INVOLVED into this! If anyone has a problem with a particular person, be mature and bring it up WITH THEM instead of broadcasting it to the entire NG! Can we please keep IRC dirt in IRC?
