Pryor Thoughts: Smith Or Dillon?

13 December 2016

A few folks criticized Patti Smith's Nobel version of A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall but it compares well with Dillon's own 1964 performance. Seventy years of life adds timbre and gravitas to a song as substantial as this one.

I don't know if Dillon was the best choice the Nobel prize for literature but the committee could have done worse.

		Professor of law, teacher of contracts and subjects
commercial, follower of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in the Reformed tradition, and curious about why things are the way they seem to be. Graduate of various schools, husband of one, and father of three.

		This blog features my occasional and idiosyncratic views
of law, culture, and tradition, not necessarily in that order. Whether law is the product of culture or vice versa interests me. Thus I am attracted to comparative law and legal transplants. For some hints about my perspectives take a look at Henry Van Til, Jaroslav Pelikan, and Reinhard Zimmermann.
