I guessed Dylan myself.  Now I guess a Dylan imitator.

  No, not Dylan.

      I wonder if the following stanza appeared in, say, *Fence*'s next issue,
      whether anyone would think it particularly out of place?


         Is this just vulgar electricity
         Is this the edifying fire
         (it was so pure)
         Does your smile's covert complicity
         Debase as it admires
         (just a flu with a temperature)
         Are you just checking out your mojo
         (oohoo)
         Or am I just fighting off growing old
         (just a high fever)
         All I ever wanted
         Was just to come in from the cold
