| | Political Affairs Magazine - Highway 61 Revisited: America at the Crossroads, Still... |
 | | Highway 61 tells the long story of America at the crossroads, sometimes making deals with the devil, sometimes not. |
 | | I imagine the young folk singer, sitting at the mouth of that highway, deep in the woods, soaking up the American history and music that rolls upcountry like deep river water, from Louisiana and Mississippi and Tennessee, finally pooling in the pine woods of Minnesota, a perfect place for the young poet to drink from. |
 | | Then again, Highway 61 ends at the New Orleans Superdome, America's forgotten island of the damned and dispossessed, reminding all America that the highway still tells the unrelenting story of rich and poor, white and fl, conservative and liberal. |
