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.

Bobcats

For some fans of Bob Dylan, no level of involvement is enough.



Bob Dylan might be a poet, a thief, a genius, or a fraud. He might be stone-cold crazy, like the Dylanologists who worship him. But he’s not what you thought he was. He’s much more interesting than that.

Sign says it all.

Sorry, but I never thought about who or what he was. I gather he messaged youngsters. In my formative years (WWII era) we got our messages from speakers and writers, and were entertained by musicians and singers.

Happy Birthday, Bob! Thanks for walking this giant ball of dirt the same time as me!

His singing is not beautiful, but expressive. His timing is remarkable. Plus he writes it all - or steals it.

So if I may wrap this up in a few words, Dead Heads only they like Dylan.

And speaking of Bob Dylan, Weird Al's interpretation of "115th Dream".

You're welcome - enjoy.

I think he sings just fine and he turns a pretty good rhyme.
Happy 73rd Mr. D, and for the occasional free ad, thanks BD.
