Singer songwriters include, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Phil Ochs. Poets might be Allan Ginsberg and others not easily identifiable. Comedic live performance may be of Lenny Bruce. It was created by McCabe, and the theme is expressed in a song by Leonard Cohen: "Into this furnace I ask you now to venture, you whom I cannot betray."
