NEW YORK The New York Times has tied Bob Dylan to the Cheney shooting, and no wonder.

In the opening of its major article in its Sunday "Week in Review" section, the Times explained the history of the Armstrong Ranch in Texas, scene of the incident just over a week ago when Vice President Dick Cheney shot fellow hunter Harry Whittington.

What the newspaper fails to mention, however, is that one of Bob Dylan's famed 1960s albums was called (after one song on the record) "John Wesley Harding." In that case, Dylan added a "g" rather than his usual practice of dropping a "g."

Twas down in Chaynee County,
A time they talk about,
With a lady by his side
He stook a stand.
And soon the situation there
Was all but straightened out,
For he was always known
To lend a helping hand.

All across the telegraph
His name it did resound.
But no charge held against him
Could they prove....
He was never known
To make a foolish move.

He traveled with a gun in every hand..."
