Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Saturday nite free ad for Bob: Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (1965). In pop music, as in folk music, there is "Before Bob" and "After Bob."


Everything about this recording is good:

Top, top notch Dylan, and 12 bar blues too!

The folksinger had gone electric, and it was time to --not kill the next dragon, but enthrall it.

One of Bob's best, from what is arguably his best single album. It's in my top 10 albums of all time, for whatever that's worth.

And it could be noted that I tend to pick that one when I'm making playlists, almost every time or two...(Well, not when I'm going Metal or suchlike, but sometimes even then. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta go, and that usually includes something off of Highway 61 Revisited in the soundtrack, for me.)

Just yes. It's good, and that's a rare thing here in the age of Obama.

I drove clear up highway 61 a couple years ago just to see if he was kinda there and maybe he was a little. Nice road.
