Does that make Zenaphonx?

Incidently whether Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) knew anything about Ezra Pound
as a kid growing up in Hibbings, Minnezota could be cleared up by asking
him, but he certainly learned about EP from associates like my friend Bob
Neuwirth when the two were making the scene in the Village in the 60's.
    But who could say they know a damn thing about modern American culture
without knowing who Ezra Pound is? The rest is baggy pants and contorted
hand gesture suitable for soda pop advertising.

p.s. Zeno? (333 B.C. - 261 B.C.) Greek philosopher
