Is Bob Dylan’s “visions of Joanne” a rap song?

Oh geez,  I don't think deadhead had any racist intentions.  Lighten up people.  There are enough real problems to get huffy about.

I don't think that the blues have much in common with rap.  I think rap is a new art form that developed out of computer technology and the desire of people who can't sing to perform.

Thank you tomcy6 (from the OP). 

Oh, and thank you Larryi -  your comments deepen the discussion I was hoping to have. 

two Harvard graduate i know are working on a synthesis of Shakespeare and rap, what could go wrong ? Deadhead good thread dude ,  keep on truckin…

….please note Audiogoners; my response was a poor attempt
on my part of trying to be being sarcastic as I knew what ;  '' deadhead1000''  was specifically referring to the music and song itself and not about race. I want to make that point clear and also being a big follower of Bob Dylan ; I did listen to that song …..and maybe but in my opinion a little bit of a stretch.
