Dylan talks about Clayton in the former's Chronicles, Volume One<\/em>, Simon and Shuster, 2004, pp. 260-261.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Spoelstra<\/a> is also discussed by Dylan somewhere in Chronicles<\/em>.  While I flip through the pages, you enjoy Sugar Babe, It's All Over Now<\/a>.  The title puts me in mind of Dylan's wonderful It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.<\/a>  Comparing these two songs one sees why Spoelstra, competent as he is, is a forgotten folkie while Dylan is the "bard of our generation" to quote the ultra conservative Lawrence Auster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah yes, Spoelstra is mentioned on pp. 74-75.<\/span><\/p>\n

About Karen Dalton<\/a>, Dylan has this to say (Chronicles<\/em>, p. 12):<\/span><\/p>\n

My favorite singer in the place [Cafe Wha?, Greenwich Village] was Karen Dalton. She was a tall white blues singer and guitar player, funky, lanky and sultry.  I'd actually met her before, run across her the previous summer outside of Denver in a mountain pass town in a folk club.  Karen had a voice like Billie Holliday's and played the guitar like Jimmy Reed and went all the way with it.  I sang with her a couple of times.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
