It is one of mine, and I'm flattered.

It seems like "Richard Cory" would be more apt.

I wrote a song about Rachel Corrie too:
Landfill
(To the tune of "Landslide," by Stevie Nicks; parody lyrics by Slings and Arrows) I took my bullhorn, took it down
Helped terrorists in Gaza Town.
I saw my reflection on a bulldozer blade,
and the landfill's where I stay.
Oh, choppers in the sky,
What is dumb?
Can I play chicken with Israelis?
Can I face down heavy equipment?
Can I take sixty tons on my chest?
Well, I've been afraid of flattening,
'Cause a D-9 can hurt you.
But morons are bolder,
Flag-burning gets older,
And IHOP is calling too...
Oh, mail me home, flat rate's fine,
Fake some photos, moan and whine.
If you see my reflection in a bulldozer blade
Well the landfill's where I'll be...
If you see my reflection in a bulldozer blade
Well the landfill's where I'll be...

I'm flattered. At least you are not flattened.
My corrie graphics are old. I need some new ones. I started working on this South Park cartoon:
Oh my G-D, they killed Corrie! YOU BASTARDS!

Rachel's Parents were almost kidnapped by terrorists in Palestine! You can't make this stuff up!
On January 4, 2006, Samir Nasrallah told news sources that Palestinian gunmen had entered his Rafah home, where Corrie's parents were staying overnight, with the intention of kidnapping them, but abandoned their plans when told who his guests were. [29] [30] The gunmen allegedly wanted to use Americans as bargaining chips to secure the release of Alaa al-Hams, a Palestinian militia leader arrested on suspicion of ordering the kidnap of British human-rights activist Kate Burton and her parents. [31] The ISM released a statement disputing Nasrallah's version of events, and saying that the Corries were not the intended targets.

Not since Reagan's polyps has such a tempest been raised over such a trivial subject.Reagan's polyps were smarter than Roadkill Corrie.

(IIRC and IANAL) This would be covered by what is known as a compulsory license. Dylan can't stop Bragg, but Bragg is required to pay a royalty for using the tune, and the royalty is generally higher than if permission had been negotiated.
