A interesting article from Far Out magazine, some of the content of which we are familiar with.

I'd say all of the content is familiar, a rehash of many similar articles, but without providing any citations specifying where and when Dylan said those things about Leonard. Seems to be no point to the article other than to chat about Dylan and Cohen, pulling together quotes and other info from unnamed random sources.

I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of articles like this online, not just the plagiarism, but "the famous person/song/etc. most admired/liked (or disliked) by another famous person" kind of article. It's just syndicated/formulaic hack journalism.

Mind you, if they're saying nice things about Leonard, great -- it's a nice reminder to those who know, or a way to enlighten those who don't -- but there's absolutely no originality involved.
