Dear Readers,

I have a confession to make. I have been receiving weekly payments from the Secretary of the Department of Folk Rock Autobiographies since early January in exchange for The Undertoad’s “Your Daily Dose of Dylan” feature. Earlier this week I received a notice that said I would no longer be receiving these payments because of “pressures from the Man.” At first I refused to believe it and I continued with the feature. It has come to my attention that the “Man” in question has indeed been applying pressure and even made a very public statement condoning such activities from his staff. Although having my income supplemented by innocently advancing the agenda of the Department of Folk Rock Autobiographies was nice, I understand now that it was deceitful of me to do so in a secretive manner. I apologize to my readers…all five of you. In the future I will be completely upfront with you all if I am presented with similar opportunities. Hell, maybe we can all get in on the action next time around. Again, I’m deeply sorry and hope that you will find it in your hearts to forgive me.

With regrets,
James

PS – This is in no way related to the discontinuation of The Undertoad’s sister blog, “Hooray for the U.S. Department of the Interior!”

PPS – Okay, maybe they are sort of related.
