About time! I look forward to a full opera based on Dylan's writings (not just the songs), . . Maybe by Glass or Adams. If not a full opera then maybe a lieder-type song cycle. If Schubert could do it for Muller, Goethe and others, someone should for Dylan.

Mr. Corigiliano's comment, that Mr. Dylan's "use of language and imagery was as fine as any poet." is apt. The best of Dylan martches Yeats. Nice to see Clothes Line get a mention.
