Okay, I went back here because I remembered this to be one of the many
points you've accused several poets of "thievery", Dale... and see I
was mistaken, you never actually called me a thief, but never
explained what the "Rolling Stones cop" was all about. Just as the
reference you made to m.s.i.f.g's "thievery" of Dylan and Cohen was
never shown (and I suppose was turned into a Joe South quote, which he
had to have heard since the phrase is a really old one), no "Rolling
Stone cop" that I know of can be found.
Mind clearing that up for me, where is there a "Rolling Stones cop" in
my sestina?
