The JDC played guitar, but my pointing out that b (or c), derived from a, annoyed him regardless of the specific examples. (Except maybe for Zepp--he professed to hate Zepp.) If he was in a better mood he'd sweetly condescend: "Does that make you like the song less?" (Which it oftentimes did, although I'm very fond of "Sweet Jane," "Be My Lover," *and* "Baba O'Reily.") If he wasn't in a better mood he'd bark, "I hope *you* try writing a song sometime and we'll see if *you* can avoid something derivative!" And I didn't, 'tis true, have much to say to that. (Except that the one time the JDC pushed *himself* to write a song, he could only manage new lyrics to a Graham Parker melody) Andy A monk asked Zhaozhou, "Does a dog have Buddha-nature or not?"

Andy Case 11: Obaku's "Drinkers of Lees" Obaku, instructing the assembly, said, "You are all drinkers of lees. If you continue to go on your Way like this, where will the 'Today' [The world of nirvana] be? Do you know that in this great empire of Tang there is no Zen master?" Now a monk came forward and said, "What would you say to the fact that in various places there are people who accept students and direct their assemblies?" Obaku said, "I don't say that there is no Zen; I only say that there is no master."
