OK, I tripped over my own ego and missed a joke!  I'm flummoxed!  Sorry Neil!

Oh come on... It's supposed to be funny - a well executed Dylan parody! 

Neil Innes? Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band? The Rutles? Monty Python?

The harp playin on this "protest song" (pretty good lyrics by the way)
reminds me of a demonstration I witnessed where the anti-parking-lot
activists obnoxiously banged on metal cans, making clanging chaotic noise
'til I got a headache. It was not luring, engaging, communicative or even
tolerable.   No friends were made and the parking lot got built.   

So the harp playing on this protest song is what?  Overblows? Blow bends?
How about Cacophony? Even Dylan sounds more tuneful on harp. 

Whatever, no offense, Mr. Innes, but stick to your nicely laconic lyric
writing, and until you can play harp get someone who knows how to play for
you.  Hell, I'd do it!
