________________________________
On Reading Dylan's Writings
________________________________

Now that it's dust and ashes
now that it's human skin
Here's to you Bob Dylan
a poem for the laurels you win

Sincerest form of flattery
is imitation they say
I've broke my long line down
to write a song your way

Those "chains of flashing images"
that came to you at night
were highest farm boy's day dreams
that glimpse the Angels light.

And tho the dross of wisdom's come
and left you lone on earth
remember when the Angels call
your soul for a new birth

It wasn't dope that gave you truth
nor money that you stole
-- was God himself that entered in
shining your heavenly soul.

-Allen Ginsberg

Our mutual friend Gini Woolfolk does a nice version of "Jolene", as
you may already know...

A nice birthday gift for Bob & Price, if they're looking...

Have you seen the video yet, or are you just asking?

That would probably make it clearer for you if you watch the video
before asking questions.

Since you're only in the thread to snip the links he gave anyway, why
in the world should he bother "explaining himself" to you?

Actually, PJR, the above reads more like a projection of your (or more
precisely, ggamble's) basic style of Usenet posting... at least
Jolene's offered more content than you, since all you seem able to
manage these days are your whining rants alternated with your bitter
complaints.

HTH & HAND.

Someone must have really hurt Corey's feelings to have put him in such
a "Tom Bishop" mode for so long, now.

I asked you, but you seem unable to explain yourself. Either you can explain
yourself or not... here's an example of you *not* being capable:

Okay, just remember you were unable to explain the following:

Can you explain where you think George was lying?

I ask you to explain because it isn't clear anywhere on this thread that
George ever lied. Either you can explain yourself or not... if not, then you
did falsely accuse George of lying.

Simple enough for you, Corey?
