   Tom Paxtons Rambling boy sounds a lot like Dylans dont think twice ...   
   especially the guitar... interesting i think because music used to be more   
   about the music then than the artist... they were just all inspired by each   
   and writing without a thought to    
   how similar it may be and certainly not getting upset about it like things are   
   now because thats what it was inspiration. I miss something I never even had   
   the pleasure of knowing. Something it seems none of our youth will ever know   
   when you watch the    
   videos now.... MUSIC. The message and the music bought and sold and bought   
   again.
