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.

A brief Bob review

From a friend on Weds:


Bob in Waterbury (CT) last night. Beautiful new arrangements, the most mellow I've ever heard him live in 2 decades. Thoughtful on the piano.... just sharing these heartbreaking stories with us. Set list below.


Things Have Changed 
It Ain't Me Babe
Highway 61
Simple Twist of Fate
Cry Awhile
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Honest With Me
Tryin' To Get To Heaven
Scarlet Town
Pay in Blood
Make You Feel My Love
Like a Rolling Stone
Early Roman Kings
Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Love Sick
Thunder on the Mountain
Soon After Midnight
Gotta Serve Somebody
All Along the Watchtower
Blowin in the Wind


Bob does not shortchange you with songs in his almost nightly performances, even at age 77 or whatever. Here's part of a 4 year-old performance of his haunted Scarlet Town. "The seven wonders of the world are here" - genius - those wonders are everywhere:

I couldn't get through that video; Dylan sounded like an old drunk. I love his stuff from the sixties and seventies, but he should just give it up now. It's time.

Nope. Gotta keep keepin' on. He still sells out, and all generations want to listen.

Plus he keeps putting out new tunes. Not like the past, but he's not dead yet. Thank God.

Not a huge fan but Tangled Up in Blue kicks ass. Back in the day.

Listen closely to Serve Somebody. Good advice there.

I've listened to Dylan for over fifty years. He can't sing. Period. He writes fairly well but many of his lyrics are nonsensical. I attended his comeback tour in 1974. Once was enough.
