I do dig Bob Dylan, as any humanist should, but I spearhead no decipherment attempts. Linear B is already deciphered. Linear A is in an impossible state right now and what has been done legitimately has been done by Yves Duhoux.
Most recently Kevin Pluta and Dimitri Nakassis in the proceedings of the Metron conference in the Aegeaum series have statistically shown how dangerous certain assumptions about the Linear A tablets are.
many thanks.
