Shave off my goatee, I'm headed back to Athens. Oh, wait... I just bought Bob Dylan's "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues," which I had heard many years ago and liked, off Apple's iTunes Music Store. When I listened to it again, I realized that it was the template for another song I like, the satirical "Seattle Grunge" that's the hidden track on Todd Snider's album "Songs for the Daily Planet." Snider's song came out while I was in college and was briefly a novelty hit on stations like Ole Miss' own U-92 (oh, excuse me, "Rebel Radio"). As far as I know, it's Snider's biggest hit to date. The term "template" is a bit vague...the Snider song is basically a parody of the Dylan tune, right down to a lot of the inflections and asides, with a few musical changes. This actually reinforced my love of each song, although I do wish Snider had credited Dylan in the liner notes.
