I choose to date my career as a freelance writer to the same month Bobby Zimmerman landed in NYC to begin his career as Bob Dylan – January 1961. I was twelve then and began to type summaries of televised hockey games for my father to read when pleasure or business made him miss a broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada.
My greatest coup as a freelancer was to cop press credentials for Dylan’s return to the Newport Folk Festival in 2002. The only question that awaits Dylan’s answer is, why the weird beard and wig that day?
