American Hack Sees Visions of Johann
A US journalist has been forced to resign from the New Yorker magazine after being caught making up quotes from singer Bob Dylan. Jonah Lehrer first tried to contest the allegations but yesterday conceded that he had falsified quotes from the sixties legend: ”I said that they were from archival interview footage provided to me by Dylan’s representatives. This was a lie spoken in a moment of panic. I then continued to lie and say things I should not have said.” Seems Johann Hari took his old tricks with him when he fled across the pond…
This guy is a progressive – he was telling agreater truth for the good of all.
Noticeable that his first name is an anagram of Johan.
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own,
With no direction home,
Like a complete unknown,
Like a rolling stone?
What quote did he make up: “The Sun isn’t yellow, it’s chicken.”
Oh wait, Dylan actually said that…
Time for me to obtain a super injunction.
Actually, elsewhere in the lyrics we can find a description of the boy himself:
“Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously.
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously”
“When you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose”
Bob said that to me only the other day.
“I then continued to lie and say things I shouldn’t have said,” Jonah told me softly. #interviewswithhari
Didn’t Dylan say that line to his schoolteacher after being caught lying and saying things he shouldn’t have said ?
It was an intellectual portrait
“Most likely you’ll go your way and I’ll go mine”
There must be some kind of way of of here said the joker to the thief.
