Why couldn't Mark Chapman have been obsessed with Billy Ray Cyrus or Michael Jackson?

Because it was pre-ordained in the Book of Revelations that Billy Ray would spawn the Whore of Babylon, otherwise known as Miley Cyrus or, in Satanic circles, Hannah Montana. The end is near. Prepare.

Thanks, CarversDog! Nice tune, I like blues. I guess this tune is part of the soon to be released Bootleg Series No. 8, Tell Tale Signs.

Thanks for the link man. I'm always up for free music. Plus, I like Bob Dylan too. So it all works out great!

really great track but it's not really a new track. It's an alternative take of a song that appeared on the 2001 album"Love and Theft". I actually prefer this one to the official release. also Sheryl Crow covered it some time in the late 90's. But if you like your ears please don't subject them to that.

Thanks for the link. As for Chronicles, yes it is good, and insightful. For all his ability, Dylan admits his rather juvenile behavior in the years just before he made it. Word has it that he really didn't admit it all...

Thanks for the link, DIB! - Dylan says in the beginning of the interview that his uncle took him to California to listen to Woody Guthrie, when Dylan was 10 years old. I wonder if that's true. Dylan was known to make up stories back then...:D

I have'nt finished Cronicles yet. I got to page 162 and put it aside when Portions came out, but so far it's been an interesting read.

That's a great song. Thanks, for letting us know, Erik!
I can see Dylan's releasing a new CD April 28th. I hope all the songs are as good as this one...

Remember that poem where Buk mentions both Hitler & Dylan?
Well, what do ya know! here's a recent interview where Dylan talks about the Stones and Hitler!
And Buk once went to a Stones concert - get it?
Didn't think so...
;)

I feel reluctant to do so, being most unaccustomed to contradicting anything the esteemed Hank Solo might say concerning Buk-texts, but may I most humbly point out that the text named "Jaggernaut: Wild Horse on a Plastic Phallus", (as it originally was named in Creem, vol.7, nr. 5, October 1975), on page 156 of "Portions..." describes Buk's impressions of a Stones concert? and that he there most fittingly mentions the song "Sympathy for the Devil"? (which of course has nothing to do with Hitler or his mustache.)

But of course, he may just have made up the whole thing, as he hints at in the afore mentioned concert review...

I stand prepared to be corrected.

Well I haven't read it for a long time, but I seem to remember that in that article he writes about intending to go to a Stones gig, but not making it, but turned in an article to Creem anyway. So ... perhaps he did, but I remember the article suggesting otherwise.

He suggests skipping the show, but it sounds like he went anyway.

"Look," I said, "why don't we just stay in here and get drunk? Fuck the STONES. I mean, I can make up some kind of story: went to see the STONES, got drunk in a golfcourse bar, pewked, broke a table...knitted a palm tree towel, caught cancer. Whatcha think?"

And it wasn't the only time he saw them. He wrote right at the beginning of that piece, "Last time I had seen them was at the Santa Monica Civic."

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that he said the forum concert wasn't as good as the Santa Monica show. Didn't have the same fire, balls or heat or something. But it would seem that he saw them twice.

That's great, 1fsh2fsh!

- I just got his new CD. I've only heard it once so far but there seems to me a few good songs on it. I like the extra CD with the 60 min. Dylan radio show...

That's great, Roni! Funny, that he chose Bamberg instead of some big city. Be sure to get a ticket. They sell out fast.
