Happy Birthday Emmett Grogan?

Some say today is Emmett Grogan's birthday. Some say there never was an Emmett Grogan and that it's a compilation of characters.

OR...
The word 'Emmett' means 'tourist' in 20th century Cornish. Grogan means 'hairy' in Gaelic. So Emmett Grogan means 'hairy tourist'. Is this the belief you subscribe to?

OR...
The multiple-use name Emmett Grogan was used by San Francisco Diggers in the 1960s. The book Ringolevio is a biography of several members of the diggers merged together as the autobiography of one 'person', Emmett Grogan.

OR...
Dylan backup singer?

Anyway, today I say Happy Birthday to the spirit of Emmett Grogan.

* The BROKEN HALLELUJAH name is taken from "Hallelujah", a song by Leonard Cohen.

* Easy Bake Coven , my previous website, ran from 2002 - 2009. It was time for a change so it will now be a mostly music-related website. All of our old EBC posts are stored there and here as well.
