Here's some crucial Christmas advice, kids: Don't let Mom and Dad sneak off to the toy stores until they've done their homework. It's a jungle out there, full of Thundercats and Sectaurs, Pound Puppies and Glo Worms, GoBots and Transformers--in short, no place for the innocent.

He plays an unaccompanied electric guitar and sings as if he has a pound of cotton jammed in each nostril. After the ear has become accustomed, though, this collection of previously released material, a plethora of political and personal tales of woe, really hits home. "A New England" achieves both the humor and sadness of early Dylan. After all, if the world could grow to love a nasally hick from Hibbing, Minnesota, then...
