Bob Dylan: Fate's Encounter With a Mighty Spirit

During the period I was writing the comparison between Donald Trump and Gorgeous George, I by chance was reading Bob Dylan's memoir and saw his story about meeting Gorgeous George... It struck me that George was a Trickster figure, evoking different responses depending on the context. For awhile now, I have been thinking about the nature of fate and destiny, particularly from the perspective of the mythologist Michael Meade. Now I saw an opportunity to put it together. The result was this piece I just sent to The Huffington Post.
