right. We treat celebrities poorly in this society. If Dylan were to
advertise his presence, he'd get all sorts of media attention, etc. If
he goes incognito, it's hard for him to dress up as anything but a
bum. (Any alternatives?) Maybe we should get rid of the whole social
category of "celebrity"...
