7/4

There's always some clown trying to get into the photo. Who is that?

And what did she call Bob?

Cashing in.

Or "Play Giant Steps!" ←

No surprise here. I've always thought that people who complained that Dylan "can't sing" were missing the boat entirely. His incredibly precise timing and controlled manipulation of vowels is easily the equal of Sinatra's, although, obviously, entirely different. Same for his harmonica playing - no accidents there. None. ← Are you sure 'bout the harmonica playing? I'm more used to blues players, I guess. Dylan has that folkie thang goin' on.

You can't really know if this is true unless you see the complete unedited press conferences. Much of the the footage in "No Direction Home" comes from Pennebaker's "Don't Look Back", and I suspect that Pennebaker intentionally selected the footage that he found amusing, either for the dumb questions or Dylan's comical and sometimes caustic answers. I have to believe that a fair number of reasonable questions were asked and answered, but not included in the films. ← Yeah, but that's no fun. I saw the last hour of the second night. Now I feel that I should have watched the whole thing. I must know someone I can borrow it from...

I think I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show at least a second time. I had a goatee for years. I didn't know it was a trend. I'm on the Atkins diet for health reasons, not because it's a fad. I think they forgot to list the most obvious one: the internet.

Exactly. I love calamari.

Good choices both!! Very different albums though... ← I've heard a bit of Richter 858, so I know what I'm getting into. East/West is his latest, so I want to check it out.

And New Mexico looks just like Colorado. ← I noticed. What's up with that?

At this point, I'm so crazy about this group that I love it all. I think it's pretty cool that they cover Ornette's Kathelin Gray on In Tokyo. I just ordered Richter 858 & East/West by Bill Frisell from CD Universe.

Nope--still alive at 73. Barbara Feldon "Dead or Alive Info" Page ← ← I'm glad she is still around. A fine looking lady. I would have never guessed she was 73. ← She doesn't look it.

Sad, but true. RIP. I haven't seen the reruns in years. As for the cone of silence, I've been calling the hallway in my building, here on the 8th floor, that for years.

I see a pattern forming.

Say what? ← Gaylick? Gay stick? What the hell are you talkin' about?

She-hit. You should hear La Monte Young sing Raga.

Good timing! I was up late driving, but was spinning cds.

but I have never seen any.

Collectors talk in hushed tones about film of Mormons break dancing.

I have a boot of that one. I like the part where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir start scatting break-beat and the midgets trade fours.

I think so too.

I think this would be more fun if I turned off WKCR and listened to live in Japan until Phil is done.
