The majority of my childhood & life has been spent living on Cape Cod in West Hyannisport AKA: Kennedy country.

Took me a lot of time & brain development to realize the many book reports I completed in my youth was nothing more than fairly tale laced fiction. ... Yet still, can't deny they're somehow apart of who I am.

Remember standing outside with my fellow neighbors in '09 as they wheeled Teddy's body away. Just as I remember my elementary school friend's mom telling me how he pinched her ass at the bar connected to Baxter's Fish & Chips, and one hungover stoned teenage morning seeing him alone at the Hyannis bus station behind the Sunny Side breakfast restaurant with my friend and us yelling "F you Tedster" as he politely waved & gave us a chuckle.

Also happen to be a huge Dylan fan. ... Song invokes many different emotions & thoughts ... Funny ones like George Costanza yelling, "worlds colliding," angry ones as if someone in my own family was murdered, all the way to somber ones leaving me with tears rolling down my cheeks. .... Guessing it does much the same for a lot of others as well. ... Mark of a great song.

Thanks much for the article. Truly enjoyed it. LoL, been a little while since the Tedster crossed my mind.

Be well & enjoy yourself.
