Tell him Bob Dylan is camp.
but camp is not Bob Dylan.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I listened to Dylan's music for 25 years without ever seeing him live, and then a few years ago I saw him twice within a few months. At the first concert in a small auditorium he was brilliant. He was passionate and energetic, but somehow still subtle and contemplative. He turned his old songs into rich new experiences and played some damn fine new songs that ended up on his last couple of albums. John Mellencamp was in the audience, and Dylan skittered between paying homage to some of Mellencamp's work that he liked, and taunting Mellencamp whenever he finished something of his own that he was proud of. The whole audience felt fortunate to have experienced a moment of genius.
I saw Dylan again six months later, because a friend had a spare ticket. His performance was tired and sloppy. His speech was vague and digressive. At least I think it was. I couldn't understand a word that he said. It was obvious to everyone that he was just going through the motions. A good share of the audience left before it was over.
You take your chances. But hey, it's Bob Dylan. There isn't going to be another one.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Got Hec's and, uh, somebody's mixes today (brain fart), just before leaving the house for work, so no time to copy. Tomorrow (and tomorrow and tomorrow).
Oooh! CDs soon for me!
DX, you should have CDs soon, although you're probably in LA right now, or on your way, so it's only fair you should have to wait for them.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Taunter. Haven't left yet, but I won't be seeing any new mail until Tuesday night.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
OK, gotta say: I just picked up The Darkness, and, well, holy shit! Bits of Queen, T. Rex, Black Sabbath, and the Kinks, all rolled into one. If they had more than one album, they'd replace HIM in my list of retro-metal.

Anyway, so, thx, Elizabeth.

Hec! The missing Cowboy Bebop CD has been found! I shall burn a copy and send that to you as soon as possible.
