@jtlangley @charlie-smith @billyhartong @ChrisZappa Thanks a million for your claps, comments or other "reax" (in newspaper jargon). You have truly done your good deed for the week and can have clear conscience if you don't drop $100 bills in those red kettles at malls.

For the past 24 hours I've been living through one of those only-on-Medium tragicomedies: This piece has gone semi-viral off Medium thanks to a big link from a Dylan fan site: 1.4k views within the first 12 or so hours of the link with more coming in. But 96 percent of the views are external, and I've made--this is not a joke--28 cents (!) from all of them. Thanks again for the reassurance that some people on Medium are reading and to @KevinAlexander and @NoahFenster for publishing it :).
