Excerpt from Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews : http://www.warr.org/smokey.html

"Bob Dylan once called Smokey, America's greatest living poet, and I suspect
he wasn't kidding. Dylan later said it was a slip of the tongue and he meant
to say Artur Rimbaud, who was neither alive nor American, but whatever."
