On Tue, 5 Jan 2010 01:33:25 -0800 (PST), Martin
I'm a few months ahead of you and have about 10 months to go until the
big 4-0. Advice is not my strong suit. I'm spending my last year
preparing for a return (very soon) to my beloved dojo of which I've
been absent for just over 1 year. I'm convinced now finally that I

Happy birthday from me too, Martin!
May God bless you and keep you always!
...oh, and as far as the suggestion goes, I've got none.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Happy Birthday day kid... You might want to spend the next year
eating plenty of your favorite 'bad' foods and drink or whatever, get
your vices all out of the way, hit the cathouse, start a street riot,
crash a government dinner, streak through Wimbeldon, stop up the Suez
canal, etc... And then get on a totally healthy track when you hit

I gave up on free music downloads years ago.
The best really were the binary newsgroups.

Of course it is! How stupid of me. I must have been listening to so
much live stuff I have forgotten about the albums!
Couldn't agree more. I Have Forgiven Jesus is a very special song.
Morrissey is such a great, sly lyric writer. I just got the re-
mastered Maladjusted album. The sleeve notes by Moz are hilarious.

It's on World Gone Wrong isn't it?
Morrissey's not half as maligned as Bob. Great song - and album - by
the way. My favourite track: I Have Forgiven You Jesus

That's one task- work out the chords to I Can't Leave Her Behind. C-F-

I think this line would work even better if we capitalised the M in

Fat Bob?

Bob Dylan is in his 'thin phase' at the moment. But I remember a few
years ago he was fairly chubby.
Has anyone found him less appealing since he lost weight? Or is a
Thin Wild Mercury Bob every bit as satisfying as a Fat Wide Nashville
Bob?

I believe the Devil tempted Christ to do similiar 'tricks'.
1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the
devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3The
tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these
stones to become bread."
4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone,

Dear Martin,
Waaall, old rmd old buddy old pal, happy many returns on this
momentous occasion.
I'd be the last to suggest to anyone how to live.
Largely i put one foot in front of the other, except when i come to
rest.
And ya'll come to realise it don't really matter all that much.

Interesting about the litarary associations of blue eyes. I think the
innocence must have been a factor in this song.
Dylan did Blue Eyed Boston Boy live a few years back, didn't he? I
wonder what the blue eyes denote there.
Recently the much-maligned Morrissey sang this song about America:

It was my birthday the other day too! Capricons, huh? You gotta love
us.
I'd spend the last year of your thirties with your family. Once you
hit 40 you can grab a trophy girlfriend, pull on some ill- advised
leather trousers and crash right into that big ol' mid-life crisis.
Until then keep spinning Nashville Skyline and smiling. Blood On The
