Piston Hurricane (It ain’t 1966, Hondo)

CEE

You have to change that name
It’s disrespectful
A man went to prison for a fuckuva long time
He suffered, died and was Rahway-buried
Like the career that was tanking
Long before they cuffed him
A career that would have ended
Pumpin’ ‘tane in New Or-leans
While Emile Griffith, then Nino Benvenuti said,
“Well, we’re not takin’ anyone lightly, Howard...”
But, Robert Zimmerman had lost his own career
And since Muhammad Ali had found his, again,
Convenience made us ballad-believe a man
Ripped from Life into Hell
Would have held a nod-able credit, had he
Not been railroaded to East Gehenna
(like just being ripped and railroaded
idn’ enough for human hearts)
Tricky shit, that, but, seriously, hey
You have to change that name
It’s disrespectful to Bob Dylan
And his sense of rhythm and pitch
