Winged with Death Reviews
A block is when we can't get through to the real thing. Many writers write a great deal, but very few write more than a very little of the real thing. So most writing must be displaced activity. When cockerels confront each other and daren't fight, they busily start pecking imaginary grains off to the side. That's displaced activity. Much of what we do is a bit like that, I fancy. But it's hard to know which is which. Ted Hughes

Good to see and hear. What an unlikely but delightful pairing. Sad that he’s gone. Only Pete Seeger and Rambling Jack left now that Utah Phillips has joined Woody Guthrie and ‘Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too’.

Glad you liked it, Dick. For some reason I thought Jack Elliott was dead, so good to hear he’s still up and kicking. Great teller of tales. There’s a few early photographs of him here: http://www.cookephoto.com/ramblinjack.html
