[the Real Deal]

Genuine
Heartfelt
what it was really
all about

Archival footage never looked
this way
From a central vision
Marty did not stray

Joan and Bob and Joni too
joined the train
and made
ballyhoo

Narrated by itself
With a voice
Like Allen
the awkward guru

Flower children
pokin' holes in the night
drivin' hippie wagons
to Jimmy Carter's delight

Genuine
Heartfelt
what it was really
all about

Payin' homage 
To the Natives
Turnin' defendant 
Into Plaintiff
The eye of the Hurricane
Smilin' big now
Free from the big house
And the whisky-drinkin' 
Injun
Holdin' up the flag
Against the wind

Finding love
Shootin' straight
Seeing hate
Dissipate

Trail end
Seems a disaster
In the mind of the
money master

But it was

Genuine
Heartfelt
what it was really
all about


- agitatus

(Incredible piece of modern historical film - nice capstone nod to the brightest side of the generation explosion and a rare look at what sublime intensity lived inside one poetic troubadour - make sure you see this)
