. Corcoran, who first saw Dylan in Newcastle in 1965, was the editor of the useful collection
Do You Mr Jones?: Bob Dylan With the Poets and Professors
(2002). With contributions from Paul Muldoon, Simon Armitage, Sean Wilentz and an impressive legion of others, the book contains more sense about its subject than is usually available.

10
. From the
Guardian
’s notably vicious review of a ‘bizarre’ performance at London’s Wembley Arena (17 November 2003). It seems the paper was having another of its little turns where Dylan was concerned.

. The first headline comes from the
New York Times
(12 July 2003), the second from the online
Daily Beast
(30 April 2010). What’s interesting is that in both cases the writers, Jon Pareles and Sean Wilentz respectively, found the charges groundless. As mentioned previously, Joni Mitchell staged her attack in an interview with the
Los Angeles Times
published on 22 April 2010.
