   Dion's musical history. Liner notes are found in s 48-page booklet, most of   
   which consists of David Marsh's comments about Dion's life in the Bronx and   
   beyond and about the    
   various influences on his music. Page 33 is given over to Dylan's one-page   
   comment on Dion and it goes like this:

   Ginsberg called 'the hydrogen jukebox" in the fifties -- the hush hush age.   
   Torn right from the start, he had it magically together in the mythic sense --   
   level-headed and    
   trustworthy, rhythmically there's no mayhem -- just a sense of wonder. In his   
   voice he tells the untold story in the seemingly secret language. How else do   
   you explain the soulfulness of 'Teenager in Love'? An unknowing ear would say   
   it's a song about    
   youthful claptrap but it's not, not anymore than Tampa Red's 'Let Me Play With   
   Your Poodle' is not about dogs. You can hear it in his haunted voice -- street   
   corner hokum sure, but also barrelhouse blues, the honky-tonk world -- even   
   the most    
   sophisticated crooner in the articulate way -- it's all there to put a spell   
   on you. I saw Dion way back there when he followed Ritchie Valens and preceded   
   Link Wray and the Wraymen. Ritchie could pitch you over the fence and Link   
   made you feel like you    
   wanted to take a grotesque despotic world and hang it with barbed wire, but   
   Dion was no less brilliant -- his level was cool-headed, made you feel   
   longing, excited and entranced. 'Ruby Baby' is severe, round the clock --   
   listen you'll see. Satire,    
   cunning, fidelity, it's all there in spades. Great singers pass by us like a   
   parade of nobility. There's just something about them that rises above   
   superficial culture. Dion comes from a time when so-so singers couldn't cut it   
   -- they either never got    
   heard or got exposed quick and got out of the way. To have it, you really had   
   to have it, no smoke and mirrors then -- not a minute to spare --rough and   
   ready -- glorious and grand -- grieving with heartache and feeling too much   
   but still with the always    
   'better not try it' attitude. If you want to hear a great singer, listen to   
   Dion. His voice takes it's [sic] color from all pallets-- he's never lost it   
   -- his genius has never deserted him."

   notice that the word had been misspelled and therefore required an appropriate   
   [sic]. Dylan's excuse may be that he used to be a folksinger and had "Make Me   
   a Pallet on Your Floor"    
   going through his head when he wrote the comment on Dion.
