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.

Bob for Thanksgiving

We all got a big kick out of seeing Bob and his band this week down in Westchester. 


He sounded good, growly but good. Looked a bit frail at 80. Somebody needs to feed him some pumpkin pie or a Big Mac and fries.


He was on piano. Very tight band. Delighted, happy sold-out crowd - all ages. Played half rockers, half ballads.  As typical for him, the arrangements always change. Played Masterpiece, Gotta Serve Somebody, I Contain Multitudes, lots more, and closed with Every Grain of Sand which makes me cry every time. Thanks for that, Bob, and for keeping keepin' on.

"Every Grain of Sand" is a wonderful song, perhaps a hymn.

One of the real toreadors of my lifetime. The poet of my generation. A joy to my heart to see him still on the road.

Nice report, Bird Dog. Sounds like you got a gem. Thank you.

In 2013, I thought about how I had done just about everything I wanted to except see Dylan live, which I finally did that summer. Wanted to take my son this tour, but $$$$ x 2 just not an option right now, too many other priorities. Hopefully he is still touring in three or four years.

I sure hope so. He said he would.
