I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yers

Reading a blog item recently on “pushing the rhyme envelope” in song reminded me of an audio clip (not great quality I'm afraid) I have of literary critic Christopher Ricks at the New Yorker Festival in 2001. All about Bob Dylan and his inventive use of rhyme, it's twelve minutes of pleasure and you can listen to it here. Especially fun is his discussion of Dylan's I Wanna Be Your Lover (which is a song worth tracking down by the way!).
