His take on hippies and Dylan is based on his own limited experience with both, and might be a factor in his inability to ever reach a larger, more sustainable audience.

It wasn't his way. Although I am a touch surprised by his strong opinion on the matter. For someone who loved Joyce as much as he did, it boggles a bit. Bob also mentioned, on numerous occasions, that he didn't always agree with himself from day to day, so it is possible that he softened on the matter. <br /><br />I'd wager that Leary got the gig at the National Review because he was scoring weed for William F.
