VL-IV 1: Christ on Parade/gratuitous aside

[kelber at mindspring.com]

OK, since you've mentioned Moondoggie, that gives me a gratuitous opening to reference Moondog, a cultural fixture on the NYC streets in the '60s, someone who surely should have been referenced in V.  He stood silently on the street in mid-town Manhattan, dressed like a viking, selling his poetry.  Later he resumed his jazz musician career in Germany.  There's a brief glimpse of him in the opening documentary footage in the Dylan bio-pic, I'm Not There.
