I'm reading that article now (haven't finished it yet). All I'll say here is that I won't be surprised if the whole thing turns out to be a colossal scam.

I saw what you did there.... The name of the company is Colossal, isn't it? :laugh:

Jeff Wrangler:
I got on my soapbox on my blog, inspired by Jon Lee Anderson's article in the April 14 issue. I didn't think it was appropriate to do it here.
Jeff Wrangler:
I think you might say the short story "Jenny Annie Fanny Addie" in the April 21 issue includes a mondegreen, or at least the discussion of one. Apparently people hear the familiar Dylan lyric as "Take a load off, Annie," when it's actually "Take a load off Fanny," also with no comma before the name.
Commas matter.
