When I listen to Joey I like to imagine that Dylan/Levy is expressing the story from the point of view of the ones who felt protected and cared for by Gallo.
Is this a Rosetta Stone? No way man - the narrator is getting it third hand "There was talk...", and I don't think one of his protected loved ones would express themselves by saying "He did ten years in Attica, reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich" or most of the stuff in the verses like how the black dudes in prison were down wth him 'cause they seemed to understand what it's like to be in society with a shackle on your hand.
