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 free ad for Bob

Mr. Vanderleun found this excellent recording of the haunting anthem Not Dark Yet from Dylan's 1997 Time Out of Mind album. Was it that long ago? Sheesh, the time is runnin' away.


A commenter on Youtube:



 This guy has reached me intensively in every stage of my life..Been with him since I was in hs, and now I'm a senior citizen.  hearing this song as I face less than what was behind.

Except for Blood on the Tracks (Excellent), I am still not a Dylan fan. This song however will get me to give him a fresh listen.

Thanks #1 for saying that. I used to listen to blood on the tracks over and over on my older brothers hi-fi when I was a youth. After that Dylan was kind of lost on me. My lady and I saw him in concert around this time period (late 90's) because I thought he might not be around much longer,but left the concert early as he was unintelligible and just not that good. And she was kind of a hippie. Teenage angst just doesn't work for a senior citizen. Meh. Sorry Maggie.

Painfully poignant and beautiful. Bob can do that.

I grew up with Dylan songs while I was in college. Maybe it was the just the time of life, but I loved his music. I listened to a few songs on his Time Out of Mind album and he just sounded old - both his voice and the lyrics. All I can say is that it's hard to accept that most of the good times out on Highway 61 are in the rear view mirror, and you can't revisit them.
