RIP.

Anyone who watched Scorcese's Dylan film, No Direction Home will remember this.

Was just listening to Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues a few days ago.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Yeah man Odetta is amazing.

    Everyone should check out her videos at Youtube.

    Especially her more resent ones of 'house of the rising sun'
    If you keep yourself as the final arbiter you will be less susceptible to infection from cultural illusion.
