It sounds better when you say it out loud in a Bob Dylan voice, which I tried to indicate typographicalLY. The story had way too many obligatory "Times They Are A-Changin'" references, but it was a great get; the context is that the music and arts reporter just kind of blurted out the question on his way out the door at the end of the interview.
My cat Dylan, a Democat since at least 2004, was unavailable for comment. He is not Siamese and I rarely if ever carry him on my shoulders.
