Second know that I always attempt to defend Bob Dylan against any real or perceived attack. My loyalty even includes his flat voice, his strange kabuki stage make-up phase, and his current bad case of wrinkles. Behold a real die-hard fan!<BR/><BR/>Now, you've brought up some things that I haven't thought about in a looong time. I had pegged the noosphere as a kind of racial memory. In looking it up (see you inspire research), I grasp de Chardin's idea that all the minds on earth are evolving toward greater unity which will ultimately culminate in the Omega Point. Well, these times are so politicized that all I can think of is how I don't want minds like Bush, Cheney etc merging into my mind EVER. In fact, the very thought is enough to make me run screaming from the room. Just trying to fathom their evil depths by the their visible deeds could make one lose their finger-nail grip on reality.<BR/><BR/>But finally, I totally agree that Dylan may have stumbled across some sort of key. That he himself seems incapable of describing what even motivates him to write is a clue. Also that he has never & says he will never interpret any of his work except to make fun of those who assign too much significance to it. And that he started saying those things before he was even 20-yrs old!<BR/><BR/>All I know is MY world would be a much poorer place without his work.

Sometimes I ...God....Dylan....such an enigma to me. Sometimes I think he pure genius. But that's not my preferred interpretation. <BR/><BR/>No, I find my alternative Dylan conclusion far more amusing. That ol' Bob's tapping into de Chardin's noosphere, Jung's collective unconscious, or Sheldrake's morphogenetic field or whatever some have speculated may be out there.<BR/><BR/>Dylan may be proof of the existence of a greater something 'out there' we're all a part of but can't access. Dylan just stumbled across the key to that place and spends most of his time there, returning on occasion with gifts for us all ala Santa Claus.Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1140465267079181872006-02-20T12:54:00.000-07:002006-02-20T12:54:00.000-07:00Flower Child ... no, I was far too cynical even th...Flower Child ... no, I was far too cynical even then (and at such a tender age, too). But I still think I really need to know about life I learned from Bob Dylan's songs. Listen to The Chimes of Freedom sometime.

(You weren't a flower child back in those scary Sixties, were you? -grin-)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, nice lyrics. Who can forget the three big "B"s of that decade? Bob Dylan, Bobby Darin and Dada's favorite, Bobby Goldsboro. (Okay, so it's still early in the day and the news hasn't gotten to me , i.e., I haven't lost my humor yet.)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, speaking of humor (??), it sounds like you had a fun weekend. I wonder what your guests say after they depart?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and speaking of GM and Ford, of music with great lyrics...remember Randy Newman's "Political Science"? You know, "Boom goes London, boom Paree!" That one?<BR/><BR/>Well, I was thinking of that melody with lyrics that go something like:<BR/>"*Boom* goes GM!<BR/>*Boom* goes Ford!<BR/>No one cares<BR/>They all drive Accords"Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1140413152873208482006-02-19T22:25:00.000-07:002006-02-19T22:25:00.000-07:00And I thought I was the one going off on a tangent...And I thought I was the one going off on a tangent. It's your blog, you go where you want. Hybrids? Damn right. If Ford & GM can't mfr them, condemn them to the La Brea Tar Pits with the other extinctadores. So now they're saying their retired emp'ees promised health benefits will make them uncompetitive? Boo, hoo. Make better cars & people will pay the extra couple hundred bucks each. <BR/><BR/>I've been missing news all weekend due to out of town guests. Yes, conservatives, but not oppressively so. Kinda fun to see how much shit they will swallow & proclaim it tastes like chicken! So I missed Link TV etc. That's OK, next week will bring new outrages, right?<BR/><BR/>Ahh, after the guests finally departed, we put on Bob Dylan for some sage advice: "Now the Rainman gave me two cures, then he said jump right in. The one was Texas medicine & the other railroad gin ... and me I sit so patiently waiting to find how fast you have to pay to get out of going through these things twice ... Whoa, Mama, can this really be the end?" etc. <BR/><BR/>And so, I'm kinda thinking the "foul jar" doesn't apply to me cuz I can't work up the guilt for the gelt anymore.

Thank you for bringing up that PDB from those 8/01 vacation days on the ranch a month or so before 9/11. God, wasn't that testimony revealing? Pretty obvious ol' Oil Tanker had rehearsed many of her answers and, in the case of the title of that DPB, MEMORIZED her answer! <BR/><BR/>(That only served to seal her guilt in my mind.)<BR/><BR/>I've been spending time in front of the TV this weekend. Something I never do much of. But Link-TV is fund raising and running some excellent programs. Gore on global warming, Noam Chomsky, etc. <BR/><BR/>Of course, that only serves to get me more riled up. While I feel very badly for GM and Ford workers, I don't give a tinker's damn if those once gleaming examples of American industry go belly up. I'm so angry, I feel like going out and buying that hybrid just to spit in their face. Freakin' dynosaurs!<BR/><BR/>How much longer can they continue with next quarter's earnings in their sights before total collapse rises up and slaps 'em in their faces? <BR/><BR/>Sorry....I think I may have just flown off on a tangent here, huh?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I think you owe the jar a quarter.

No, it's not just you. I ...Glad to see you today! No, it's not just you. I first noticed Condi's quavery voice acting up when Benvenista asked if she knew the name of that PDB. Uhmmmm, I THINK it was called ... something like ... blah, blah, determined to attack, oh I how should I put this delicately, INSIDE, blush, knitted eyebrows. All in that earnest little concerned breathy bouncy jello style (see you know women are much harder on other women). And yes, I think the quavers have gotten much worse as she tries harder & harder to obfuscate hideous facts in her presentations. But don't worry. Whatever vestige of conscience she may still possess will soon be buried under the Greenland-size mountain of chickenhawk shit being rained on us all. And I guess by then, she'll be 2008 frontrunner. Deliver us from their capacity for evil. D.K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
